INTERSECTION TRAFFIC FLOW

In an effort to improve pedestrian safety and traffic flow at the intersection of Station 22 1/2 and Middle Street, the S.C. Department of Transportation plans on an All Way STOP at the intersection beginning in early January 2012.  Additionally, there are some minor lane reconfigurations expected to improve vehicular flow eastbound.  The SCDOT is currently constructing measurements of success for improvement of the intersection.
