How should South Carolina manage rapid population growth and highway congestion along coastal counties?

Prioritize state funding for widening I-95, I-26, and completing Interstate 73 to Myrtle Beach.
Low state gas taxes kept fuel cheap, but left highway infrastructure decades behind growth.
Paving over low-country wetlands for endless residential subdivisions guarantees urban flooding.
Streamline SCDOT project delivery to finish highway bridge replacements faster.
Implement county zoning limits on high-density residential developments in flood-prone areas.
Preserve open space and agricultural buffers through state conservation grants.
Thousands of new residents moving in daily without road widening creates total gridlock.
Expand port access roads and rail connections to handle Charleston maritime freight.
Invest in regional bus and commuter transit linking Charleston and Columbia corridors.
Require developers to pay heavy municipal impact fees for local road and school construction.
