Urges Hawaii counties to adopt the Safe System Approach in road design to enhance pedestrian safety, especially when reducing off-street parking.

The bill urges Hawaii counties to integrate the Safe System Approach into road and transportation design, particularly when reducing or eliminating off-street parking requirements, to increase pedestrian safety. It highlights the need to protect vulnerable users of transportation systems, such as children and families, who often walk on roadways due to the lack of sidewalks. The Safe System Approach aims to prevent crashes and minimize harm by designing roadways to mitigate human mistakes and using safety countermeasures.
