The ordinance, as written (Maui County) — Alignment
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.
A.
As far as practical, all streets shall be in alignment with existing streets by continuations
of the centerlines thereof. The staggering of streets making "T" intersections shall
be so designed and adjusted with curves and diagonals that jogs are not less than
one hundred fifty feet measured along the centerline of the through street. Staggered
streets shall not be used as a device to circumvent orderly street layouts.
B.
If it is not possible to align the streets of a new subdivision with existing roads
of an adjacent tract, short jogs may be avoided by establishing reverse curves in
the road alignment within the block. Such jogs shall be separated from the existing
road right-of-way by a tangent, a minimum of fifty feet along to the beginning or
end of the curve. Although such reverse curves are not objectionable in residential
areas, they shall be avoided in commercial and industrial districts.
