Crosswalk Safety Improvement Complete at Kiawah’s Busiest Intersection

Kiawah’s first intersection after entering the Main Gate on the Kiawah Island Parkway is at Kiawah Beach Drive. This crossing receives the greatest volume of vehicular traffic on the island, and a blind turn in the outbound lane limits visibility to pedestrians. In April, the community association’s contractor installed flashing crosswalk signs to alert drivers of pedestrians. Once a pedestrian pushes the button to cross, lights flash until the thermal sensors detect when the person has safely crossed the Kiawah Island Parkway. The contractor poured concrete pedestals for the signs, striping was repainted, and the signs were calibrated for use. The crossing is open and functional – making your travel around the island just a bit easier and a whole lot safer.
