East Honolulu FAQ

Can I park my boat trailer overnight in Hawaii Kai?

Short loading and unloading is fine, but storage-style parking on the street is prohibited without signs. Use a driveway, garage, or approved marina storage.

Does this apply to RVs parked in front of my Aina Haina home?

Yes. ROH 15-16.6 covers trailers and large recreational vehicles stored on any city street, regardless of whether signs are posted nearby.

Urban Honolulu FAQ

Can I park a boat trailer on a Waikiki side street?

No. ROH 15-16.6 treats long-duration trailer parking on public streets as prohibited storage parking across Urban Honolulu, with no sign needed.

What if my condo has no trailer space?

You need private off-street storage or a lot that allows trailers; ROH 15-16.6 does not create an exception for space-constrained condo dwellers.
