State Highway 61 near State Highway 61
When you are going on the James Island connector towards Down Towne Charleston, you can veer to the right and get on Highway 61 towards Summerville. This road loops around and goes for about 1/2 mile past two stop lights and then you enter upon a small overpass. Cops always sit at the top of the overpass, A lot of my friends have gotten tickets they don’t give Warnings at All !
