HONORABLE CHAIRMAN J YOSHIMOTO
AND MEMBERS OF THE HAWAII COUNTY COUNCIL
HAWAII COUNTY COUNCIL °
HILO HI 96720
SUBJECT: TRAFFIC CODE AMENDMENT:
SECTION 24-149
We request the Hawai'i County Code, Chapter 24, Article 7, Division 2 (Speed
Regulations), Section 24-149 (Maximum speed limit) be amended by having the
following inserted and the subsequent subsections renumbered appropriately:
(1) TWENTY MILES PER HOUR.
(A) IN ANY SCHOOL ZONE, THE BEGINNING OF WHICH IS
DEMARCATED BY A SCHOOL SPEED LIMIT SIGN SUPPLEMENTED
WITH A FLASHING SPEED LIMIT SIGN BEACON, AND THE END OF
WHICH IS DEMARCATED BY AN END SCHOOL ZONE OR
STANDARD SPEED LIMIT SIGN.
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 first of three traffic code amendments required for this effort to enhance
driver awareness of the Kealakehe Elementary school zone.
