At Hale{{okina}}iwa, Kamehameha Highway becomes state route 99 (at the [[traffic circle]] known as "Weed Circle"), which runs eastward up across the O{{okina}}ahu central plateau to [[Wahiawa, Hawaii|Wahiawā]]. A new bypass route (Joseph P. Leong Highway) avoids both the traffic circle and Hale{{okina}}iwa, extending state route 83 to just north of Hale{{okina}}iwa town.  Hale{{okina}}iwa Road and both Kaukonahua Road and Waialua Beach Road from Weed Circle go south and southwest into [[Waialua, Hawaii|Waialua]] across Paukauila Stream.

The historic Rainbow Bridge over the Anahulu River marks the northern entrance to old Haleiwa Town. There you will find small shops, eateries and many galleries. Two beach parks surround the small boat harbor located in Waialua Bay, Haleiwa Beach Park located to the north and Haleiwa Alii Beach Park located to the south.
