List of state highways in Hawaii


The Hawaii Department of Transportation maintains the smallest state-maintained system of state highways in the country. It consists of Interstates, state highways, and secondary state highways, totaling approximately.

Primary and auxiliary interstates

Primary and secondary routes

The current state highway numbering system was established in 1955. Route numbers are organized so that the initial digit corresponds to the island:
In general, two-digit numbers are primary highways, while secondary state highways are given three or four-digit numbers.
When referring to highways, Hawai'i residents usually refer to state highways by their names instead of their route numbers.

Temporary Federal routes

During World War II, a temporary Federal route numbering system was setup on the island of Oahu. They were used to assist military personnel not accustomed to the Hawaiian street names during the time of Martial law in the Territory of Hawaii from 1941 to 1945. Though marked with U.S. Route shields, they were never part of the United States Numbered Highway System.
