Road Safety is Everyone’s Responsibility
As a visiting athlete to Kona, you may be familiar with a
wide variety of traffic laws from other states and other
countries. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself
with Kona’s rules of the road.
Bicyclists
• Ride with the direction of traffic and obey traffic laws.
• Be predictable (signal turns), visible (reflective clothing and lights) and courteous.
• Ride in the bike lane or on the shoulder, not on the sidewalk.
• Wear a helmet- a helmet is the most effective way to minimize brain injuries and deaths from collisions.
• Avoid riding three or more on the roadway.
• Pass with care- Pass other cyclists to the left. Start by scanning behind you to make sure no cars are coming upon you. Say “on your left” and make the pass safely and efficiently.
• Say “Thank You” - Often motorists or pedestrians will yield to you; please mouth “Thank You” to let them know you care.
Motorists
• Watch for bicyclists and pedestrians at all times.
• Pass bicyclists with care and give them room – Treat t hem as slow-moving vehicles.
• Stop for pedestrians in crosswalks – It’s the law!
• Don’t drive distracted – Put away the cell phone!
Pedestrians
• Walk facing traffic and watch for vehicles.
• Be visible – Wear brightly colored and reflective clothing.
• Always look left, right, left to be sure it is clear before crossing a street.
• Listen for traffic – Avoid using iPods or cell phones.
Personal safety on Kona
roads is rooted in the spirit
of an ancient law set by
Hawaii’s King Kamehameha
the First called Kanawai
Mamalahoe, or Law of the
Splintered Paddle. The law,
later adopted as Hawai`i
State Constitutional Law
in 1978, states that all
people have the right to safe
passage on public roadways.
Kanawai Mamalahoe
was made law by King
Kamehameha the First after
he and an aid were walking
along a shoreline trail and
were attacked with a large
wooden canoe paddle. The
story goes that when his
assailant hit the King’s head,
the paddle splintered into
bits. He then declared that
regardless of your class or
station in life, everyone has
the right to move about
safely in the public right of
way. This ancient precept,
now translated into modern
law, is a guiding principle for
all Hawaii’s roadway users –
be they motorists, bicyclists
or pedestrians.

Packing and Airline Regulation
From the U.S. Department of Transportation and Federal Aviation Administration
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) would like
to congratulate all participants in the IRONMAN® 70.3®
Hawai`i We realize that it has been a long road of
training, dedication and sacrifice to reach the starting
line and we wish all participants the best of luck. We
hope that everyone finishes with personal bests and no
injuries or disappointments.
Dangerous goods (hazardous materials) continue to be
a problem at airports within the Hawaiian Islands and
air travel throughout the world. We are requesting the
assistance of all athletes, your families and friends, to
ensure the safety of yourselves, your fellow passengers,
your aircraft and air carrier employees. Only certain
dangerous goods are allowed, by regulation, to be
carried by passengers and crew on an aircraft:
• Non-radioactive medicinal and toilet articles
(including aerosols) may be carried in checked or
carry-on baggage. These would include shaving
cream, deodorant, perfumes and like items.
• Non-flammable aerosols with no subsidiary
risk (toxic, corrosive) may be carried in checked
baggage only. Flammable aerosols are not
allowed in baggage. Please ensure all aerosols
have a protective cap or other means to prevent
inadvertent release of the contents.
• One self-defense spray (pepper spray), not
exceeding four ounces by volume, which
incorporates a positive means to prevent
accidental discharge may be carried in checked
baggage only.
• The total quantity of these items carried by one
person may not exceed two kilos (70 ounces) by
mass or two liters (68 fluid ounces) by volume. The
capacity of each container may not exceed .5 kilos
(18 ounces) by mass or 470 mil. (16 fluid ounces) by
volume.
• Smoking material is now limited to one book of
safety matches or one butane lighter on the person
(carry-on baggage only, not in checked baggage).
Torches, mini-torches, micro torches and torch
lighters are not permitted in checked or carry-on
baggage or on the person.
2016 HonuStuff
Other items such as alcohols, carbon dioxide or nitrogen
cartridges, small oxygen cylinders or cartridges,
adhesives and lubricants that are flammable may be
hazardous and must be removed or declared to the air
carrier when checking in. If in doubt, check with your
air carrier at the start of your travels. The majority of
these regulations are identical for both domestic and
international travel. The United States dangerous goods
regulations may be located online at ash.faa.gov. Please
be aware that the dangerous goods exceptions granted
by the United States Government may not be identical to
the exceptions found internationally in ICAO or IATA.
If you are planning to participate in other outdoor
activities while in Hawai`i, such as hiking and camping,
please do not bring liquid or propane fuel, fire starters
or “strike anywhere” (cowboy) matches with you. These
items may be purchased on all of the Hawaiian Islands. If
you bring camping stoves or lanterns, please ensure they
do not contain fuel of any sort and that they have been
purged of fumes. These items constitute a serious safety
hazard during flight.
Since September 11, 2001, and with the current
conditions regarding air travel, increased security
measures have been implemented by the Transportation
Security Administration (TSA) for air travel to, from
and within the United States. There are a number of
items that are currently prohibited from carriage within
the cabin of an aircraft. To prevent these items from
being taken away from you during your travels, they
should be placed in your checked baggage. A list of
these prohibited items may be found online at www.tsa.
gov. This website will assist you in preparing to travel,
explaining how to pack liquids and gels and will explain
what you can expect concerning security screening of
your checked and carry-on baggage.
Again, we wish the best of luck to all athletes
participating in the IRONMAN® 70.3® Hawai`i. We
hope your travels are safe and your visit to Hawai`i is
enjoyable.
