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.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this traffic code, it is a violation for any person to violate this traffic code, unless the violation is by other law of this State declared to be a felony.
(b) Every person who violates this traffic code where another penalty is not provided shall, for a first offense thereof, be fined not less than $15, but not more than $100; for a second offense committed within one year after the date of the first offense, the person shall be fined not less than $15, but not more than $200; and for a third or subsequent offense committed within one year after the date of the first offense, the person shall be fined not less than $15, but not more than $500.
(c) The amount of the administrative fine shall be $10 less than the fine that would be indicated on a citation for a violation of the same provision. If the administrative fine is paid, the alleged violator has not committed a violation of that provision.
