The ordinance, as written (Maui County) — Purpose and intent
A copy, taken August 21, 2026. The version published by Maui County is the one that governs, and it may have changed since. Check it before relying on anything here.
Sign waving on public highways has increased significantly over the past years. Such
activities threaten the safety and welfare of motorists and pedestrians alike. Sign
wavers often congregate near busy intersections, along roadways, and near crosswalks.
These activities can distract motorists, interfere with and obscure pedestrians using
sidewalks and crosswalks, and obstruct the view of motorists merging into oncoming
traffic or making turns into intersecting streets.
An increase of sign wavers occurs primarily when primary and general elections are
to be held, but the potential problems from such activities can occur at any time.
The purpose of the ordinance codified in this chapter is to regulate reasonably the
location and type of signs displayed on our highways.
