Because Johns Island roadways have been the subject of much review and study in the past fifteen years;
Because numerous accidents and fatalities still occur due to driving at excessive speeds, driving under the influence and other causes;
Because consistent law enforcement would help decrease instances of bad driving behavior, speeding, and driving under the influence;
Because, amid other study of whether to build new roads, law enforcement and review of speed limits of current roads would be more cost-effective and increase the safety of existing roads immediately;
Because we have seen the success of increased law enforcement and subsequent lower fatalities first hand at US-17 South in Gardens Corner;
We the undersigned are requesting immediate county and/or state law enforcement on Main/Bohicket and River Roads, Johns Island, Charleston County to improve the safety of our existing roads. With your help, law enforcement can become part of a comprehensive transportation management plan for traffic and safety issues on Johns Island.
