The posted speed limits in most of the state of Hawaii are probably determined illegally. According to the federal regulation manual, Manual On Uniform Traffic Contro Devices (MUTCD), it states that speed limits are to be determined by a speed survey. This is where the 85th percentile average speed of vehicles is determined. The posted speed needs to be rounded up to the nearest 5mph, not down! Through my research, Hawaii doesn't do this! Check out the website: http://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/kno-faq.htm

Comment (11/2004): From my speedtrap experiences on the Big Island around Hilo, I fully agree on the arbitrary nature of posted speed limits. They seem intended to be nothing more than funding generators.

Comment (4/2005): If you people researched even a little bit, you would find that the state gets all the funds from this 'fund generator' while the counties do all the work for no return. Sorry but this is not a 'fund generator'.As far as Maui is concerned, it is a matter of economics. Again, further research would have told you that the 40 MPH for Piilani is because if the speed limit is any highr then the feds mandate sound barries at a tremendous cost in both $$$ and views. Quit your complaining and be productive.

Comment (4/2005): Honoapiilani Hwy. limits are 40mph through town then drop to 35 AFTER getting through town. A) this is a highway. B) no need sound barriers after town. C)= fund generation.

Comment (5/2005): I live in Kihei, Maui. I think the cops here get bored once a year and setup speed traps on the major roads for a bout 2 weeks then are done with it. NONE of the cars have radar guns in them and all the signs say "Speed Enforced by Laser". I have not seen anything else in use whatsoever.
