ROH §15-17.3
Drivers must stop for blind or disabled pedestrians
Read the official text at honolulu.gov ↗This rule says drivers must stop and be careful before moving when a blind or disabled pedestrian is crossing, except at intersections with police directing traffic. The pedestrian does not lose their right-of-way if they fail to signal.
The ordinance, as written (Honolulu County) — Blind and crippled pedestrians’ right-of-way
A copy, taken August 22, 2026. The version published by Honolulu is the one that governs, and it may have changed since. Check it before relying on anything here.
Except at intersections where the movement of traffic is being regulated by police officers, the driver of a vehicle shall come to a stop and take such precautions as may be necessary before proceeding so as to avoid injury to a crippled pedestrian using crutches, or to a blind or partially blind pedestrian carrying in full view a cane, white in color or white with red ends, or accompanied by a guide dog, and blowing continually a whistle similar to the type of whistle used by traffic officers. The failure of any such blind pedestrian to signal shall not deprive such person of the right-of-way accorded the person by other provisions of this code.
