Anyone know a Hawaii Revised Statute (HRS) or Honolulu City Ordnance
which requires cyclist to "walk the bike across the crosswalk"?

There is a HRS which requires cyclist to walk across pedestrian
overpasses and underpasses, but I do not know of a similar law for
crosswalks.

Police say they're also having problems with bicyclists.

HPD Watches for Crosswalk Violators

At the intersection of Piikoi and Beretania streets, a female
pedestrian was killed two weeks ago. That's where police were Sunday.

"Primarily, we are still warning people," said Lt. Jerry Wojcik. "The
flagrant people are getting cited."

Police are hoping their presence will serve as a reminder for drivers
and pedestrians to obey the law.

High school teacher Mike Clark said, "I'm very cautious at
intersections. I've seen so many cars jump red lights and actually, I
almost got hit once."

It's an island-wide campaign to improve pedestrian safety. At least
12 people were cited for violations on Sunday, both drivers and
pedestrians. We saw one driver stop right in the crosswalk as she
waited for the light to turn green.

Police say they're also having problems with bicyclists and had to
remind several that you're supposed to walk the bike across the
crosswalk.

As for drivers, the law says you need to come to a complete stop, not
just yield, when a pedestrian is on the same half of the road as the
driver. The fine starts at $97 for a driver who fails to yield to a
pedestrian. A pedestrian can be cited between $70 to $80 for
violations.
