SUBJECT: TRAFFIC CODE AMENDMENT
ROUTE 132, PROPOSED SPEED LIMITS
The Puna Police Department requests that speed limits be authorized along Route 132 from the Pohoiki Junction to
the Kapoho-Kalapana intersection. A speed study consisting of trial runs was conducted and we find 45 miles per
hour is the appropriate speed for this section of Route 132. We discussed our findings with the Police Department
and they concur with our recommendations.
The section of Route 132 between Route 130 and the Pohoiki Road Junction is already posted at 35 miles per hour
but not listed in the County Traffic Code. The proposed amendment will add this section of Route 132 to the
Traffic Code. A location map is attached.
We ask for your review and consideration for adoption of the subject amendment. Should you have any questions,
please contact Richard Nishimura, Traffic Division Chief, at 961-8341.
