Summary — HCR 133 (Concurrent Resolution)

Title: Requesting the Department of Transportation, in partnership with the City and County of Honolulu, to install speed bumps, speed detection devices, photo red light imaging detector systems, and other safety measures in House District 32.

Primary sponsor: Rep. Aiu
Companion measure: HR 114
Classification: Concurrent resolution (non‑binding request)

Main purpose / intent

HCR 133 asks the State Department of Transportation (DOT), working with the City and County of Honolulu, to install traffic calming and automated enforcement tools — specifically speed bumps, speed detection devices, photo red light imaging detector systems, and other appropriate safety measures — within House District 32. The resolution expresses the legislature’s intent to improve roadway safety for motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians in that district.

Key provisions

  • Requests DOT, in partnership with the City and County of Honolulu, to:
    • Install speed bumps where appropriate;
    • Deploy speed detection devices (e.g., radar or other automatic speed monitoring systems);
    • Install photo red light imaging detector systems at applicable intersections;
    • Implement “other safety measures” as identified by the agencies (e.g., signage, markings, crosswalks, curb extensions, lighting, traffic signals or other traffic calming devices).
  • Encourages coordination between state and county agencies when evaluating sites and implementing measures.
  • Does not appropriate funds, create penalties, or amend state law — it is a request for action and coordination by the named agencies.

Who would be affected

  • Residents, pedestrians, bicyclists, students, and motorists who travel in House District 32 (City & County of Honolulu).
  • The Department of Transportation and City & County of Honolulu — responsible for planning, approval, funding decisions, and installation.
  • Potential indirect effects on traffic enforcement practices, citation issuance (if automated enforcement is activated), and municipal operations/budgets if local implementation requires funding.

Potential impacts and considerations

  • Safety: If implemented, the measures could reduce vehicle speeds, decrease red‑light running, and lower crash and injury rates at targeted locations.
  • Costs & Funding: Because the resolution does not appropriate funds, installations would require existing agency budgets or future appropriations; deployment timelines depend on agency prioritization and funding availability.
  • Legal/Administrative: Automated enforcement systems can raise regulatory, privacy, signage, and public‑notification issues; the City/State may need to follow administrative processes (studies, public notices, engineering determinations).
  • Revenue: If photo enforcement is activated, it may generate citation revenue; any use of revenue would follow existing law and local policies.

Legislative timeline & status (selected actions)

  • Offered: March 8, 2024
  • Committee referrals and amendments in early 2024 (TRN → FIN; HD 1 amendment recommended)
  • Adopted by the House and transmitted to the Senate (April–May 2024–2025 actions recorded)
  • Passed both chambers and enrolled: House and Senate signatures recorded May 27–28, 2025
  • Sent to Governor: May 28, 2025
  • Signed by Governor: June 20, 2025

Note: As a concurrent resolution, HCR 133 expresses legislative intent and requests agency action but does not by itself compel agencies to act nor provide funding. Any resulting installations will depend on agency evaluations, permitting, and budgetary decisions.
