"No parking" signs have been posted along some of the North Shore's most popular beaches.

Drivers used to park along Kamehameha Highway, when the parking lots to sunset beach and pipeline were full.

But that's no longer an option.

Councilmember Donovan Dela Cruz drafted this letter to the state Department of Transportation, passing along some of the parking concerns north shore residents had.

In response to fix one problem, residents believe the DOT created an even bigger one.

When there's a north swell, pipeline is one of the most popular spots to be.

"It gets crowded, really hard to get parking," says Tom Killian, a Surfer.

But- it just got even harder.

These signs have been going up all week.

"We noticed it starting at "V"-land and it's progressing down the coast more or less. It's kind of like, keep the country country, it's an eye sore for all of us," says Tamayo Perry, a North Shore Resident.

The State Department of Transportation says they posted the signs after their engineers concurred that the parked cars were a safety risk.

Blocking some intersections, and blocking the view for residents trying to turn onto Kamehameha Highway.

"I think something needed to be done about the corners because i'm having a hard time pulling out because there's so much traffic these days," says Dali Pyzel, a Sunset Beach Resident.

But she, along with many other residents say, eliminating almost all of the roadside parking may not be the best solution.

"I was glad they did something about it, but they went overboard putting one every 20 feet," says Pyzel.

A plan that some believe will backfire...

"People are parking there anyways because they're not enforcing it," adds Pyzel.

"The guys who are obviously complaining are going to have guys in their yard blocking them out," adds Perry.

And it all comes down to beach access.

Many feel these new parking regulations are creating yet another roadblock to some of the most coveted and popular beaches on the island.

The DOT determined parked cars posed a safety risk for around 25 intersections along Kamehameha Highway.

And the sight distance criteria required them to restrict parking from about 2 to 3-hundred feet from each intersection.
