Hawaii (Big Island) Warnings Or Dangers Tips by GracesTrips

Luckily, I read this warning before my trip and was glad to know about it in advance. The police are out to get speeders! There are long stretches of highway from one city to the next and not many crossroads or lights to slow you down. So, it's easy to forget about how fast you are going. There are many, and I'm mean many, maximum speed zones that range from 25 miles an hour to 55 miles an hour. Nothing over 55! There are also signs that post a minimum speed, too!

The police on the Big Island drive various vehicles that are unmarked (not black and white or striped). They are using small SUV's like Toyota 4Runners and Ford Mustangs that may be black, blue and/or silver. You can tell it's a police car because they have a singular round blue light on top (not a bar of lights across the top). With the dark color of the car, the light is not that visible.

Speeding tickets are hefty! I think I saw a sign posted for US$250.00 for a speeding. So, take caution because you don't want a ticket to ruin your vacation.
