HCC §24-134
How to stop and yield at a stop sign
Read the official text at hawaiicounty.gov ↗This rule tells drivers what to do at a stop sign. You must stop completely, then let other cars that are already in the intersection or very close go first. A police officer or traffic light can tell you to go instead.

Except when directed to proceed by a police officer or traffic-control signal, every driver of a vehicle approaching a stop intersection indicated by a stop sign shall stop as required by section 24-133, and after having stopped shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle which has entered the intersection from another highway or which is approaching so closely on the highway as to constitute an immediate hazard during the time when the driver is moving across or within the intersection.
