ROH §15-11.2
When drivers must yield at yield signs and bike lanes
Read the official text at honolulu.gov ↗This law says drivers must give way to pedestrians in crosswalks and to vehicles already in or near an intersection when facing a Yield sign. Drivers turning across a bike lane must also yield to bicycles that are close enough to be a danger. It also lists specific intersections with Yield signs.

(b) The driver of a vehicle intending to turn right or left across a bicycle lane shall yield the right-of-way to any bicycle that is approaching so closely thereto as to constitute an immediate hazard.
(c) Yield Right-of-Way intersections in addition to those already heretofore established are established as described in Schedule XIII attached to the ordinance codified in this section and made a part hereof.*
