Hawaii HB1523 amends the statewide traffic code to clarify pedestrian-control signals.

Hawaii HB1523 amends the statewide traffic code to clarify the rules for pedestrian-control signals. It specifies that pedestrians may proceed across the roadway when the signal shows "Walk" or a walking person, and must complete their crossing if they have started when the signal changes to "Don't Walk" or an upraised palm. The bill also includes a countdown timer to ensure pedestrians who have started crossing complete their crossing before the timer ends. This Act takes effect upon approval.
