Starting next week, Greer, SC will implement changes to public transport primarily involving traffic pattern adjustments aimed at improving traffic flow and safety. One significant change is at the Main Street (SC 14) and Poinsett Street (SC 101) intersection, where the protected left turn signal phases in all directions will be turned off temporarily as a trial. This adjustment is part of a traffic study intended to minimize long waits at signals and reduce congestion in downtown Greer. The effectiveness of this change will be analyzed after several weeks to determine its impact on traffic and pedestrian safety.
Additionally, minor schedule adjustments will be made to bus routes reflecting current traffic conditions and passenger volume to improve on-time performance and connections. Some bus trips during peak hours may have shifted timings, with frequency and service span adjustments planned to better serve riders. Overall, these changes are designed to enhance travel efficiency, reduce delays, and maintain pedestrian safety in Greer’s public transportation system.
