ROH Sec. 13-6.2 bars peddling on public streets, sidewalks, malls, parks, and beaches in designated zones including Waikiki and Chinatown. Kailua is not a listed prohibited zone, but public property vending still requires authorization.
ROH Sec. 13-6.2 identifies specific prohibited vending areas, including the Waikiki peninsula (public streets, alleys, sidewalks, malls, parks, and beaches), Fort Street Mall, Union Street Mall, Chinatown, College Walk Mall, and Sun Yat Sen Mall. Kailua is not currently on the prohibited list, but that does not mean vending on public property is automatically allowed. Kailua Beach Park, Kalama Beach Park, and most sidewalks are still subject to Parks Department and Department of Transportation Services rules. A related carve-out in Article 6A (Sec. 13-6A.1 et seq.) permits merchant peddling immediately abutting a brick-and-mortar store on certain sidewalks and malls under conditions. Most Kailua food truck operations therefore run on private lots with owner consent.
Vending in a prohibited zone or on unauthorized public property is a misdemeanor under Sec. 13-6.4, with fines and possible license revocation.
