Informing the Legislature that on July 2, 2024, the Governor signed the following bill into law: SB2819 SD1 HD2 CD1 (ACT 175).
This document is a formal message from the Governor of Hawaii to the Legislature confirming that Act 175 was signed into law on July 2, 2024. The actual law, SB2819, amends state traffic statutes to clarify rules for driving on the right side of the road and to mandate that slow-moving vehicles on two-lane roads must pull over if they are impeding traffic. Specifically, it requires drivers moving significantly below the speed limit to move off the roadway at the nearest safe location if five or more vehicles are following behind them. The bill also updates language regarding exceptions for passing, navigating obstructions, and using designated one-way lanes.
