SB3209 amends Hawaii's traffic code to clarify pedestrian crossing rules with countdown timers.

SB3209 amends Hawaii's traffic code to specify that no pedestrian shall start to cross the roadway in the direction of a pedestrian-control signal once the countdown timer begins. However, any pedestrian who has partially completed the crossing when the countdown starts must finish crossing to a sidewalk or safety island before the timer ends. The bill updates the statutory language to include these new rules for countdown timers at pedestrian crossings.
