HRS §121-34

National Guard right-of-way on streets and penalties for blocking

When the army or air national guard is parading, drilling, moving in convoy, or doing military duty under orders, they have the right-of-way on any street or highway. But they cannot block mail delivery, police work, or fire engines. Anyone who deliberately blocks them commits a misdemeanor and can be fined up to $100.
