HCC §24-247
Don't block intersections or crosswalks
Read the official text at hawaiicounty.gov ↗This rule says a driver cannot enter an intersection or a marked crosswalk unless there is enough room on the other side for their vehicle to fit without blocking other cars or people walking. Even if a traffic light says go, you must wait if you can't clear the area.
