Speed Limit on Section of Volcano Road Reduced to 35 MPH

The Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation (HDOT) announced a planned speed limit reduction on Volcano Road (Route 11) between the highway’s intersections with South Road and Pszyk Road through Kurtistown and Mountain View to improve safety.

Beginning on Monday, January 23, the speed limit in the area will be 35 mph in both directions. Previously the speed limit in the area varied from 55 mph to 45 mph depending on the direction of travel. 

A consistent speed supports operation at the five un-signalized crosswalks, two traffic signals and pedestrian activity from community parks in the 5.5-mile section of Volcano Road.
