Informing the Legislature that on June 3, 2025, the Governor signed the following bill into law: SB1195 SD1 HD2 CD1 (ACT 171).

SB1195 (Act 171), signed into law by Governor Green on June 3, 2025, prohibits street parking within 20 feet of any crosswalk or intersection statewide, regardless of signage. This directly affects drivers (who cannot park in these zones) and pedestrians, particularly children walking to school, by improving visibility and safety at high-risk locations. Fines collected from parking violations in these zones must be deposited into Hawaii’s Safe Routes to School Program special fund, which finances infrastructure improvements like crosswalk enhancements. The law amends Hawaii Revised Statutes Sections 291C- and 291C-4 to implement these changes, with limited exceptions for emergency vehicles or stalled cars.
