Kailua, Hawaii Speed Traps

Speed traps sporadically set up on the section of Mokapu Road between Oneawa St. and Kaneohe Bay Drive. Posted speed limit is 30 mph. Be aware of civilian police vehicles (Blue Toyota ForeRunner, White Mustang, White Crown Victoria….etc.) parked alongside the road, usually well blended amongst parked vehicles the shade. HPD officers can usually be found either in front or behind their vehicles tagging traffic.

They park at the preschool across of Keolu Elementary to catch people speeding down the hill into Enchanted Lakes. They hide very well under the shade of the tree and you don’t know it till you pass them. Got caught doing 42 in a 25 zone and the speed limit drops to 20 mph on school days from 6:30-8:30 a.m. and again from 1-3:30 p.m.

police officers post themselves in the one of the two church parking lots on kailua road with their lasers. As motorist are coming around the bend heading up the Pali they pull you over. speed limit posted is 25 when school in session and 35 when not in session. however i was ticketed on a non school day going 37 mph in a 25 mph zone. i contested this but still lost and also had to pay an additional $25 administrative fee which they added to the fine.

Numerous times I have seen cops at the scenic lookouts on both sides of the H3 near the Kaneohe Bay Drive exit. They park on the down slope of the exit for both of the scenic lookouts so that you can’t see them until you are past them and they get you from behind.

Cops camouflage their car by parking near reflective blue sign in front of the second to last church before kailua town. Enforced at least once a week for cars traveling in and out of kailua. tailored for DUI’s.
