Summary

Maui County Code section 10.68.110 bars trucks, buses, tractors and other vehicles over 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight rating from thirteen named residential streets, including Vineyard Street, Front Street near Puamana, and several Kihei and Kahului subdivisions. Refuse trucks, school buses and delivery vehicles serving a residence on the street are exempted.

These county ordinances apply to unincorporated areas of Maui County. Incorporated cities within the county may have their own rules that take precedence over county-level regulations.

A.Except as provided in subsection B, no person shall operate any truck, bus, tractor, tractor-semitrailer combination, or tractor-trailer combination, or any other vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating of more than ten thousand pounds on the following roads:1.Waiko Road from its intersection with Honoapiilani Highway and for a distance of .2 miles makai of such intersection;2.Kauhale Street, between Keonekai Street and Kilohana Drive;3.Baker Street, between Front Street and Wainee Street; ... 11.Front Street, between its intersection with Honoapiilani Highway at Puamana and Shaw Street;12.Vineyard Street; ... C.Any person who violates any provision of this section shall, upon conviction, be subject to a fine of not less than $100, but not more than $500.

Full Breakdown

110(A) lists thirteen specific roads where no truck, bus, tractor, tractor-semitrailer, or tractor-trailer combination, or any other vehicle rated over 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight, may operate: stretches of Waiko Road, Kauhale Street, Baker Street, Nakoa Drive, Oluloa Drive, Naniloa Drive, Halenani Drive, Kainani Street, Okolani Drive, Haulani Street, Front Street between Puamana and Shaw Street, Vineyard Street, and Makaala Drive. These are largely residential corridors near Wailuku, Kihei, Lahaina and Pukalani where heavy through-traffic would otherwise cut past schools and homes. Subsection B carves out three exceptions so the rule does not stop essential local service: public or private refuse trucks, school buses and government-funded transit buses, and any vehicle actually delivering materials or services to a residence or location inside the restricted stretch may still use the road.

The restriction targets weight and vehicle class, not local deliveries, so a moving truck serving a house on Vineyard Street is exempt while the same truck merely passing through is not. The rule has been amended repeatedly since 1986 to add streets as new subdivisions sought relief from cut-through heavy traffic, most recently in 2014.

Violations & Fines

Operating a restricted vehicle on one of the thirteen listed streets without qualifying for the refuse, school bus, or local-delivery exception carries a fine of not less than $100 and not more than $500 per violation, set directly in section 10.68.110(C), separate from Title 10's general $200/$500 catch-all penalty for other traffic offenses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can semi-trucks drive on Vineyard Street in Maui County?
No, unless the truck is delivering to a residence or business actually located on Vineyard Street. Section 10.68.110 bars any vehicle over 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight, including tractor-trailer combinations, from using Vineyard Street and twelve other named residential roads for through traffic.
What is the fine for driving a heavy truck on a restricted Maui street?
Section 10.68.110(C) sets a fine of not less than $100 and not more than $500 for each violation of the truck restriction. Every trip through a restricted street without an exception, such as a refuse truck, school bus, or a delivery to a residence on that street, can be cited separately.
Are delivery trucks allowed on Maui County's restricted residential streets?
Yes, if the truck is actually delivering materials or services to a residence or location within the restricted stretch. Section 10.68.110(B) exempts that delivery trip, along with refuse trucks and school or government-funded transit buses, from the over-10,000-pound restriction that otherwise applies to the thirteen listed streets.
