REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AND DEPARTMENT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT TO STUDY THE POSSIBILITY OF A HIGHWAY PATROL AND SPEED CAMERAS ALONG MAJOR FREEWAYS AND HIGHWAYS IN PRIMARY AREAS OF SPEEDING.

SCR 23 is a Senate Concurrent Resolution requesting Hawaii's Department of Transportation and Department of Law Enforcement to study implementing highway patrols and speed cameras on major freeways and highways in areas with frequent speeding. The resolution cites speeding as a leading factor in traffic fatalities and notes local law enforcement often lacks resources to address safety issues. It asks the departments to assess how collaborative efforts - using technology like speed cameras - could improve traffic safety without mandating any specific action. This resolution seeks only a study, not immediate policy changes or funding.
