Maui County, HI Special Events & Permits: Parade Permits (2026)

060, 'Operating through funeral or other processions,' regulates both individual drivers near a procession and the procession organizers themselves. Subsection A prohibits any driver from operating a vehicle between the vehicles of a funeral or other authorized procession while they are in motion and conspicuously marked as required by law, though the rule lifts at intersections controlled by traffic signals or police officers. Subsection B is the permit trigger: no funeral, procession, or parade of two hundred or more persons, or fifty or more vehicles, may occupy, march, or proceed along any street except under a permit issued by the chief of police, subject to whatever other regulations in Title 10 apply; the only carve-outs are for United States Army or Navy forces, Hawaii state military forces, and police or fire department forces.

Subsection C sets identification and driving-discipline rules for funeral processions of vehicles: each vehicle must display a placard of a type the chief of police designs, and every driver in the procession must hug the right-hand edge of the roadway as practicable and follow the vehicle ahead as closely as is safe. Because the permit threshold is written in terms of headcount or vehicle count rather than the purpose of the gathering, it reaches parades, marches and funeral processions alike once they hit two hundred participants or fifty vehicles, while smaller gatherings fall outside the permit requirement altogether.
