ROH 15-14.1 prohibits stopping, standing, or parking in front of any public or private driveway or within 4 feet of either side across dense Urban Honolulu neighborhoods.
In Urban Honolulu, where driveways on narrow streets from Makiki to Kaimuki are tightly spaced, ROH 15-14.1 is a frequent enforcement tool. The ordinance makes it unlawful to stop, stand, or park in front of a public or private driveway, or within 4 feet of either side of a driveway, without needing a posted sign. Driveway construction within the public right-of-way is regulated under Chapter 14 Article 3. With population density of around 350,964 in the Urban Honolulu CDP, residents should leave a full 4-foot buffer from each side of any driveway to avoid ticketing.
Parking tickets and vehicle removal; abutting property owners can request enforcement when driveways are blocked.
