New color-coded signs are reminders to help people remember where they parked.

Constantly forgetting where you parked at the Honolulu airport?

Visitors parking in one of the garages at the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport can now look for distinct, color-coded signs as reminders of where they parked, state transportation officials announced earlier this week.

Terminal 1 (formerly Interisland Terminal) garage is now green, the International garage is blue and the Terminal 2 (formerly Overseas Terminal) garage is red. These colors match the new signage located over the roadways.

“We found that people had a hard time remembering which parking garage they used, let alone which row they were in,” said state Department of Transportation director Jade Butay in a news release. “The improvements will help people differentiate the parking garages and the signage is an effective reference to the location of their car.”

Visitors are encouraged to take a picture of the sign in their row after they park as a reference. Smartphone apps are also available to help users remember their parking location.

The sign replacement project at the Honolulu airport will replace approximately 3,100 indoor and outdoor signs including signage along the roadways, within HNL terminals, and at the parking structure, along with electrical work, traffic control and other associated improvements.

The signage improvement project is anticipated to be completed in the summer.
