HRS §264-6
State highway not to be disturbed without permit
This law says no one—person or government agency—may dig up or put things on a state highway right-of-way without a written permit from the transportation director. The only exception is holding or displaying movable political campaign signs. It is a narrow rule about getting permission first.
