SCDOT postponed participation until January 2022 in the outreach Zoom call we are arranging, with the SC Livable Communities Alliance, to do a public introduction to the new Complete Streets policy. If your municipal or county staff has questions, contact us for a referral to the right person at SCDOT. We are thrilled for this new policy, which will have strong implementation power across our entire state, relative to other states. If you haven't already, thank your SCDOT Commissioner! SCDOT staff is working hard during this key phase.

It is illegal to put yard debris
in bike lanes in South Carolina.
Thanks to Palmetto Pride, this state law was updated in 2018 to include this. If you have a bike lane needing clean up, mention State Code 16-11-700 to your local, community law enforcement officer: "... A person ... may not ... dispose of litter or other solid waste ...upon ... a highway ... street, or alley .. Responsibility for the removal of litter is upon the person convicted ... The fine ... is not less than fifty dollars and not more than one hundred and fifty dollars. ... The court, instead of payment ... may direct the substitution of additional litter-gathering labor or other form of community service."
