On the Big Island you may not stand or park a vehicle in front of or within four feet of any public or private driveway (and up to 75 feet away where signs are posted). Blocking a driveway or alley entrance is also prohibited.
HCC Sec. 24-190 prohibits standing or parking, except momentarily to load or discharge passengers, in front of or within four feet of a public or private driveway—or up to 75 feet when signs or markings are installed. The Department of Public Works marks these no-parking areas with signs or curb painting. Sec. 24-193 separately bars parking within an alley in a position that blocks the driveway entrance to abutting property. These rules apply island-wide since the county is the sole local government.
A traffic infraction; general Chapter 24 fine up to $100 first offense, escalating to $200 and $500 for repeat offenses within a year (Sec. 24-16).
