HRS §356D-107

Counties can make traffic rules for public housing

This section lets county councils in Hawaii, Maui, Kaui, and Honolulu make traffic rules for public housing projects in their areas. But these rules only work if the housing authority signs a written contract with the county, saying the county is not responsible for building or fixing roads, signs, or signals in those projects.
