Lanikai parking restrictions in place through Christmas weekend

KAILUA (HawaiiNewsNow) - Holiday parking restrictions around Lanikai will remain in effect from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 25, to Sunday, Dec. 28.

The City and County of Honolulu’s Department of Transportation Services says the restricted parking rules were decided upon in an effort to reduce traffic congestion for residents along the Lanikai-Kaohao shoreline during the Christmas weekend.

No parking will be allowed on streets or shoulders of Mokulua and Aalapapa Drives. Parking will also be restricted on cross streets that connect Mokulua and Aalapapa Drives.

Transportation officials have placed temporary “sawhorse” type signs on impacted streets in Lanikai to warn drivers of the parking restrictions.

The same restrictions will also be in effect for New Year’s weekend, from Thursday, Jan. 1, to Sunday, Jan. 4.
