HONORABLE CHAIRMAN J YOSHIMOTO
AND MEMBERS OF THE HAWAII COUNTY COUNCIL
HAWAII COUNTY COUNCIL
HILO HI 96720
SUBJECT: TRAFFIC CODE AMENDMENT:
KEALAKAA STREET
25 MPH SPEED LIMIT
We request the Hawai'i County Code, Chapter 24, Article 10, Division 1, Speed Limits,
Section 24-254, Schedule 2. 20 mile per hour limit, paragraph (f) Kona be amended by
adding new item:
ll KEALAKAA STREET IN THE SCHOOL ZONE FRONTING KEALAKEHE
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, FROM A POINT FIVE HUNDRED NINETY FEET
NORTH OF PALANI ROAD AND EXTENDING ONE THOUSAND SIX
HUNDRED FORTY FEET IN THE NORTHERLY DIRECTION WHILE SPEED
LIMIT SIGN BEACONS ARE FLASHING.
The need for this amendment is based on an effort to enhance driver awareness of the
Kealakehe Elementary school zone and to minimize risk to school children, we are
modifying the traffic signage and school speed limit on Kealakehe Street fronting the
school. The existing school zone speed limit is 25 MPH, the proposed speed limit is 20
MPH. These proposed modifications are intended to mitigate the increase in traffic due
to the recent openings of Manawalea Street and Keanalehu Drive and consequential
connection to Queen Kaahumanu Highway.
This is the second of three traffic code amendments required for this effort to enhance
driver awareness of the Kealakehe Elementary school zone.
