Hwy 9 (between Colonial Charters and Hwy 17) is a 4 lane super highway with a posted speed limit of 45 mph and even drops to 40 mph in front of Seacoast Medial Center. Everything about this road tells the motorist … “It’s OK to go 55 mph” but the speed limit says 45 mph. This area is crawling with Horry County Police, S.C. State Troopers, and an “unmarked” Black Dodge Charger who write about 6 speeding tickets per day yearround. And since the speed limit is set so low they have an easy time catching lawbiding citizens who are just trying to get to and from work. This speed trap is a bid money maker for Horry County ! And even though the police say they are interested in public safety … all they care about is “The Money”. Write to the Governor and say you want the speed limit increased from 45 mph to 55 mph A.S.A.P. !!!
