In East Honolulu's narrow hillside streets of Portlock and Kuliouou, ROH 15-14.1 prohibits stopping or parking in front of any driveway or within four feet on either side, protecting access for residents and emergency vehicles.
ROH Sec. 15-14.1 prohibits stopping, standing, or parking in front of public or private driveways and within 4 feet of either side of a driveway. East Honolulu's steep, winding streets in Hawaii Loa Ridge and Mariner's Ridge often have tight curb space, making driveway clearance enforcement common. The companion rule in Chapter 14 Article 3 covers construction of driveways within the public right-of-way. Violations are enforced without need for signage, and residents commonly report blocked driveways to HPD non-emergency. Visitors should measure the four-foot buffer before parking near any curb cut.
Parking citation and possible tow if blocking access. Fines vary by zone and repeat offenses.
