The Hawaii Police Department has conducted more than 1,000 traffic stops on the Daniel K. Inouye Highway since HPD stepped up enforcement efforts after several traffic fatalities on the road.

Between June 4 and June 21, officers conducted 1,069 traffic stops on the highway and identified numerous violations, including 649 speeding violations, 17 reckless driving violations, six unsafe passing violations and 509 other traffic violations.

From June 15-21, officers conducted 303 traffic stops and observed numerous traffic-related violations, including 187 speeding violations.

Enforcement efforts since June 4 also resulted in two arrests for operating a vehicle under the influence of an intoxicant and five arrests for other offenses.

Although this high-visibility enforcement campaign concluded on Sunday, officers will continue conducting proactive traffic enforcement operations along the DKI Highway, also known as Saddle Road.

“Tragedies on our roads are preventable, and I ask every driver to commit to roadway safety: Slow down, eliminate distractions, and always drive sober,” Chief Reed Mahuna said in a press release. “Let’s look out for one another, drive defensively, and treat each other with aloha on every journey.”
