A copy, taken August 21, 2026. The version published by Hawaiʻi County is the one that governs, and it may have changed since. Check it before relying on anything here.
Street names shall meet the following criteria: (a) No duplication. To eliminate potential confusion, duplication of street names within the same judicial district or zip code zone shall not be permitted. Streets with the same name but different street type designations shall be considered duplicate street names. Exception: This provision shall not apply to any street named “Maile” in the Leilani Estates subdivision in Puna. (b) Continuity. Streets continuing through an intersection or are segments of a planned alignment shall keep the same name. (c) Directionals. The director may add directional indicators, such as north and west, to street name proposals as deemed appropriate. (d) Other Criteria. The director may specify other street naming criteria in rules. (2004, ord 04-82, sec 2; am 2016, ord 16-114, sec 2.)14-86 SUPP. 1 (1-2017) 14-38 GENERAL WELFARE § 14-87
