<div><div dir="ltr">Is it just me, or are there way too many primary state highways when some of them should really be secondary instead? The US Highways should normally be the "primary"/"trunk" highways and only a few select State Highways should be primary or trunk. To be honest, it seems that 98% of all the State highways segments in SC are marked as primary right now.<br>
<br>There is no way almost all of the State Highways in SC can be "primary". Just look at almost any other state. None are overloaded with primaries. One of the major routes that sticks out to me is SC-64 near the Savannah River Site where it's marked as "trunk" going to the security gate [1]. Now, if the Savannah River Site didn't exist and the highway was still open to the public past that point, I wouldn't agrue the point of it being trunk or primary. But since that segment of state highway goes "nowhere" anymore after leaving US-278 going West, this would be a classic case of it having to be "secondary", or maybe even being "tertiary".<br>
<br>So, does anybody else agree with me on this subject of "primary overload" in South Carolina? If so, how do we go about fixing this with a reasonable approach? Looking at some of the history of some of the ways, it seems that only one user was doing the "upgrade" from secondary to primary/trunk over the past 4+ months. He also did some of this in Georgia, but not to the extent as in South Carolina. Unfortunately, this user did it over 200+ changesets, so, if reverting was the option, it would take forever I would think.<br>
