§264-44  Maintenance of state highway
system.  (a)  The maintenance of the state highway system may be performed
either by public employment or by contract, or the director of transportation
may have the maintenance performed by the county in which the highways are
situated, by public employment or by contract, upon authorization of the
legislative body of the county concerned.



(b)  All maintenance work shall consider the
extent to which work undertaken will increase traffic congestion and the
director shall ensure that action is taken to reasonably minimize any adverse
impact.  The feasibility of off-hour maintenance work shall be considered for
all maintenance work that results in significant traffic congestion or delay.



(c)  As used in this section, "off-hour
maintenance work" means maintenance work performed between the hours of
six o'clock p.m. and six o'clock a.m. [L 1967, c 163, §3; HRS §264-44; am L
