Vehicular routes to the North Shore from Wahiawā are Kamehameha Highway (State Rte. 80) to [[Haleʻiwa, Hawaii|Hale'''ʻ'''iwa]] and Kaukonahua Road (State Rte. 801) to [[Waialua, Hawaii|Waialua]]. Wheeler and Schofield are reached along Wilikina Drive (Wahiawā Bypass) (State Rte. 99), which bypasses Wahiawā from the south bridge, a road that eventually connects to both Kamehameha Highway and Kaukonahua Road northwest of town. Kamehameha Highway continues south (as State Rte. 99) past Wheeler to [[Mililani Town, Hawaii|Mililani Town]]. [[Interstate H-2]] terminates at Wilikina Drive near the Kamehameha Highway intersection, and is a less congested route southward to Mililani and beyond to [[Pearl City, Hawaii|Pearl City]] and [[Honolulu]] via [[Interstate H-1]]. Kunia Road (State Rte. 750) runs from Wilikina Drive, between Schofield and Wheeler (on the bypass), then southward along the mostly still agricultural western side of the plain to [[Kunia, Hawaii|Kunia]] and [[Waipahu, Hawaii|Waipahu]] beyond.
