In a move that has left residents turning their heads (but only to the right), South Carolina has just passed a groundbreaking new traffic law. Starting next month, left turns will be banned on all state roads every Friday. The law, humorously dubbed “Right Turn Fridays,” is part of a new initiative to “streamline traffic and reduce the chaos caused by excessive decision-making at intersections,” according to state officials.
The Department of Transportation spokesperson, April Furst, explained the logic behind the law: “We’ve noticed that deciding between a left or right turn can be quite stressful for drivers. By eliminating this choice once a week, we’re hoping to create a more relaxed and decisive driving experience.”
Local reactions have been mixed. Some residents have praised the move as “innovative and quirky,” believing it will add charm to the state’s already unique character. Others have expressed concerns about longer commutes and the potential confusion for tourists. “I just hope my GPS can keep up with these changes,” said one concerned driver.
