County announces checkpoint placard exchange for Wainiha-Ha`ena
residents beginning Aug. 1
LIHU'E — In an effort to combat a recent rash of thefts and attempted unauthorized
access into the Wainiha-HA'ena area, the County of Kauai will begin exchanging
placards issued to residents (blue placard) and non -governmental agencies (white
placard) beginning Wednesday, Aug. 1.
County staff will install window decals in exchange for the issued placards,
indicating the vehicle has authorized access to pass the Waikoko checkpoint, provided
the placard matches the vehicle. Exchanges do not require any new paperwork or any
additional forms to be filled out.
From Aug. 1 to 10, county staff will be posted at various locations to exchange
placards, including vehicles in line on Kuhio Highway waiting for convoy start times.
Please see the table below for various locations and dates for the placard exchange.
Additional dates will be announced in the future.
All residential and non -governmental agency placards will expire after Friday,
August 31, 2018. Until that date, both the new decals and original placards will be
honored by checkpoint staff during the transition.
Any beige governmental contractors passes issued by either the State
Department of Transportation or the County of Kauai, or Waikoko-only access resident
passes do not require an exchange and will remain valid past Aug. 31.
