The existing school zone speed limit is 25 MPH, the proposed speed limit is 20 <br /> MPH. These proposed modifications are intended to mitigate the increase in traffic due <br /> to the recent openings of Manawalea Street and Keanalehu Drive and consequential <br /> connection to Queen Kaahumanu Highway. <br /> <br /> This is the second of three traffic code amendments required for this effort to enhance <br /> driver awareness of the Kealakehe Elementary school zone. <br /> <br /> A location map is attached for your reference. -7 <br /> <br /> <br /> 1135 Comm.
