It was nice of Foghorn to explain what fluctuates means… However, he is correct our roads are so F^<%ed up that we can't afford to give up a dime in highway taxes – now let's address the other part of the equation. Let's start actually fixing the roads!
Highway 9 runs from The Barnacle Gift Shop in dirty Myrtle thru Pageland, Lancaster and Chester to eventually crosse Sparkle City on its way into North Carolina. The entire length is alligatored, potholed, poorly marked, poorly lit and as a result it has the highest death rate in the state.
Highway 6 runs from Moncks corner along Lakes Marion and Moultrie all the way to Ballentine on Lake Murray. When I have the time, it's my favorite way to avoid the traffic on I-26 south of Columbia, rural and transecting some of the most beautiful land in the sandhills. It's a pleasant ride at a slower pace – except, again, it's pot-holed, alligatored and extremely narrow along its entire length. SC-6 is also the second deadliest road in the state.
Honorable mention goes to SC Highways 34, 20 (another pretty ride) and 41, the 3rd, 4th and 5th deadliest roads in the state.
I-85 in South Carolina is ranked as the 5th deadliest highway in the US but good old I-95 is ranked as Number 1 (Ain’t you proud! We’re number 1, we’re number 1!) I-95 averages 30 fatalities a year because of its poor design, poor maintenance and poor lighting (somewhere in that list idiot SC drivers should be added).
