What Are the Most Dangerous Roads in the Region?
U.S. Route 501 (US-501)
US-501 is one of the primary routes into Myrtle Beach and experiences heavy congestion, particularly during peak travel seasons. Frequent stop-and-go traffic, merging lanes, and high vehicle volume contribute to a large number of rear-end and multi-vehicle collisions.
U.S. Route 17 (US-17 Business & Bypass)
US-17 runs along the coast and through major Grand Strand communities. It carries a mix of local, tourist, and commercial traffic, with frequent intersections and varying speed zones increasing the likelihood of accidents.
SC-31 (Carolina Bays Parkway)
SC-31 serves as a high-speed bypass around Myrtle Beach. While designed to reduce congestion, its higher speeds and heavy traffic volume contribute to severe collisions when accidents occur.
