Purpose of old government road maintenance rules
Read the official text at library.municode.com ↗This section explains why the county has rules about old government roads. It says the county may maintain the surface of these roads for safety, but only if money is available and the county chooses to. It does not mean the county owns the roads.

The ordinance, as written (Maui County) — Purpose
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.
The council finds that there are old government roads in Maui County which are open
to the general public and necessary for public transportation. The council further
finds that no governmental entity or private person or entity claims ownership of
these roads, many of which were not built to the County's design standards and are
in need of surface maintenance. To protect the safety of motorists, bicyclists and
pedestrians who use these roads, the council adopts this chapter authorizing the department
of public works and waste management to provide surface maintenance for old government
roads in Maui County, subject to the availability of appropriations, when and where
it is deemed appropriate. This chapter shall not be construed as an admission of ownership
nor as an acceptance by the council of any old government roads.
