HRS §291C-62

When you must yield before turning

Before you turn at an intersection or into an alley, private road, or driveway, you must let any vehicle, bicycle, or person coming from the opposite direction or going the same way pass if they are close enough to be an immediate danger. This rule tells you when to wait.

The statute, as written — Vehicle turning

The driver of a vehicle intending to turn within an intersection or into an alley, private road, or driveway shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle, bicycle, or person approaching from the opposite direction or proceeding in the same direction when such vehicle, bicycle, or person is within the intersection or so close thereto as to constitute an immediate hazard.
