SB3044 amends Hawaii's pedestrian-control signals to clarify crossing rules.

SB3044 amends Section 291C-33 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes to clarify the rules for pedestrians when using traffic signals. It specifies that pedestrians may only start crossing when the signal shows "Walk" or a walking person, and must complete the crossing if they have started before the signal changes to "Don't Walk" or an upraised palm. The bill also introduces a countdown timer to help pedestrians manage their crossing time. This change aims to enhance pedestrian safety and traffic flow.
