THIRTY-THIRD LEGISLATURE, 2026
STATE OF HAWAII

SENATE CONCURRENT

RESOLUTION

 

 

REQUESTING THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU TO CONSIDER CHANGING THE CONFIGURATION OF BICYCLE LANES AND ON-STREET PARKING STALLS TO ALIGN WITH THE FLOW OF VEHICULAR TRAFFIC, ESPECIALLY ON ONE-WAY STREETS.

 

 

     WHEREAS, the City and County of Honolulu is committed to ending traffic violence on the island of Oahu through its Oahu Vision Zero Action Plan; and

 

     WHEREAS, the goal of the Oahu Vision Zero Action Plan is to eliminate all fatalities and severe injuries on Honolulu's roads while supporting safe, healthy, and equitable transportation choices; and

 

     WHEREAS, the safety of bicyclists is of great importance to the State and to the City and County of Honolulu; and

 

     WHEREAS, bicycle lanes on the island of Oahu are intended to provide bicyclists with safe paths for transportation; and

 

     WHEREAS, bicycle lanes that allow bicyclists to travel against the flow of vehicular traffic can be a safety hazard to bicyclists, as well as to pedestrians and motorists, especially at one-way streets where the visibility is restricted; and

 

     WHEREAS, when bicycle lanes allow bicycles to travel in both directions on one-way streets, persons exiting abutting business driveways often have difficulty seeing the oncoming bicyclists, who may approach from either direction; and

 

     WHEREAS, when bicycle lanes are adjacent to on-street parking stalls, this further limits the viewing angle of drivers exiting abutting driveways, increasing the risk of accidents; now, therefore,

 

     BE IT RESOLVED by the Senate of the Thirty-third Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2026, the House of Representatives concurring, that the City and County of Honolulu is requested to consider changing the configuration of bicycle lanes and on-street parking stalls to align with the flow of vehicular traffic, especially on one-way streets; and

 

     BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this Concurrent Resolution be transmitted to the Mayor of the City and County of Honolulu, Chairperson of the Honolulu City Council, and Director of Transportation Services of the City and County of Honolulu.
