HI SB2585

Amends Hawaii Revised Statutes section 291C-33 to update pedestrian-control signal regulations, last amended in 1981, to include countdown timers.

Clarifies that pedestrians may not start crossing when a countdown timer begins operating, but those already partially across may complete their crossing while the timer is running.

Adds countdown timer as a recognized pedestrian-control signal indicator alongside existing "Walk," "Don't Walk," walking person symbols, and upraised palm signals.

Makes minor grammatical corrections and clarifications to existing pedestrian signal provisions regarding right-of-way and crossing procedures.

Takes effect on July 1, 2050.
