To develop this master plan, the US 17 study team: 

  • Collected traffic counts, turn movements, and crash data for 65 intersections. This helped to identify congested and unsafe intersections.

  • Analyzed all 65 intersections for safety and capacity problems.

  • Considered how school traffic affects congestion along US 17.

  • Counted pedestrians and bicyclists at all 65 intersections. 

  • Visited all 65 intersections to verify conditions.

  • Asked residents for their opinions and observations.

    • Residents could give their opinions at a traditional public meeting or on an interactive online map.

  • Reviewed reports of adopted plans

  • Discussed options with the Project Advisory Committee (PAC) which is comprised of:

    • The Berkley Charleston Dorchester Council of Governments,
    • The Charleston Area Regional Transit Authority,
    • County of Charleston,
    • The City of Charleston, 
    • The South Carolina Department of Transportation.
