Issue

Hawaii currently enforces 23 C.F.R. part 658 weight limits on the island of Oahu via section 29l35(2), HRS. A different weight limit is enforced on the Big Island, Maui, and Kauai via section 29l35(3), HRS. The proposal is a statewide simplification for the weight limits to be enforced throughout
the State. The intent of the proposal is to minimize premature deterioration or failure of the State's infrastructures.
