Haw. Code R. § 19-170-182 - Private streets

(a) Private streets used as principal access, abutting, or within a subdivision, shall be improved to conform to the requirements of this subchapter. The subdivider shall bear responsibility for private streets including maintenance and regulating traffic.

(b) Private streets and private improvements shall be maintained by the subdivider or owners of property contiguous or adjacent thereto in such manner that adequate access by vehicular traffic and services is permitted at any time so that fire, police, health, and public utility vehicles can service the area. If private streets and improvements are not maintained, and the executive officer determines that the maintenance is inadequate to provide necessary-services for the subdivision, public services may be withheld from the area until adequate access is provided for such services.

(c) The subdivider and subsequent property owners shall be responsible for informing future owners of the affected properties that the development corporation is not responsible for any maintenance or repair work or any other services within the limits of the private subdivision and the private improvements.

(d) At or near the entrance of each private street, a sign shall be installed depicting the words "Private Street" or "Private Road." The type and location of the sign shall be subject to the approval of the executive officer and the subdivider shall bear the total cost of the purchase and installation of the sign.

(e) The board of water supply may be consulted regarding conditions under which the public water system may be extended into a private street.
