Hawaii House Resolution urges the Department of Transportation, Department of Education, and City and County of Honolulu to improve crosswalk safety at Mililani ʻIke Elementary School at the Meheʻula Parkway and Kuaoʻa Street intersection

Hawaii reported 129 traffic fatalities statewide in 2025 (highest since 2007), including 38 pedestrian deaths, highlighting the urgency of pedestrian safety measures

Specific safety improvements requested include warning signage approaching the crosswalk, speed bumps with corresponding signs, and a "STOP Here for Pedestrians" sign installed up to 50 feet before the crosswalk

Resolution calls for installation of a solar-powered rapid flashing crosswalk sign to alert drivers of pedestrians at the high-traffic intersection

Meheʻula Parkway serves as a main thoroughfare through Mililani extending to Mililani Mauka, and residents have reported near-accidents at the current crosswalk during school drop-off and pick-up times
