Bill Summary
Removes references to countdown timers as it relates to pedestrian-control signals, including the requirement that pedestrians must begin crossing a roadway before a countdown timer begins.
AI Summary
This bill amends Hawaii's Statewide Traffic Code by removing references to countdown timers on pedestrian-control signals, which are the signals that tell pedestrians when it is safe to cross a street. Previously, the law specified rules for pedestrians regarding countdown timers, including when they could and could not start crossing based on the timer. This bill simplifies these rules by eliminating any mention of countdown timers, focusing solely on the "Walk" or "Don't Walk" signals and their corresponding symbols of a walking person or an upraised palm.
