Whenever a
hurricane threatens our coast, you may plan to leave voluntarily
or you may be ordered to do so. Blue hurricane evacuation signs
are posted along roads to guide you inland to safety. Although
accidents or traffic conditions could cause detours, the
designated routes are highlighted on this map.
The directions given here are provided by the
South Carolina Department of Transportation.
They are designed to spread the traffic flow and provide the
fastest route out of your area. As conditions change, some roads
may close or become congested. It is advised that you evacuate as
soon as possible.
North Charleston: [MAP]
Evacuees from North Charleston will take US 52 (Rivers Avenue).
They may take US 78 to US 178 to Orangeburg or they may stay on US

At Goose Creek, traffic in the right lane of US 52 will continue
