Summary
Hawaiʻi County Code has no length- or weight-specific oversized-vehicle street ban, but any vehicle too large for a marked stall must still keep off the main traveled roadway and leave at least ten feet of the roadway clear for traffic.
No person shall park any vehicle … Upon a street, other than an alley, in a manner or under such condition as to leave available less than ten feet of the width of the roadway for free movement of vehicular traffic.
Full Breakdown
Chapter 24 does not set a dedicated size threshold for oversized vehicles on streets. Instead, Sec. 24-187 forbids leaving any vehicle standing on the paved, main-traveled part of the highway outside designated parking areas. Sec. 24-198 lets single vehicles longer or wider than a marked stall extend beyond it only as needed, while Sec. 24-192 requires that at least ten feet of roadway width stay free for traffic. Oversized trailers or equipment left over 24 hours are deemed abandoned nuisances (Sec. 24-199).
Violations & Fines
Traffic infraction; Chapter 24 fine up to $100 first offense (Sec. 24-16). Abandoned oversized trailer/equipment: $250 plus removal (Sec. 24-199).
