Talk:South Carolina Highway 544

Northern terminus/termini
Bannered routes of U.S. Route 501 refers to two northern termini for SC 544. SCDOT maps would seem to contradict this, variously showing one route referred to as "SC 544 Overpass" or "US 501/SC 544 Overpass", and another route as "SC 544 CON". Horry County, SC real estate records seems to show addresses on the "CON" route as being on "Old 544" and addresses on the "Overpass" route as being on SC 544.

The few edits I've done to SC road articles lead me to believe that the state of South Carolina is quite unhelpful by not providing route logs, mileages, straight line diagrams or other authoritative sources. This all needs to be cleared up by someone with subject matter knowledge and possibly added to this article's history. --Chaswmsday (talk) 16:26, 12 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Check out the Google Street view. The northern terminus is split. -User:DanTD (talk) 16:28, 12 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Upon further examination, I'd like to see evidence of the one segment as being "Old 544," and I'm willing to perform a rewrite. -User:DanTD (talk) 16:38, 12 August 2013 (UTC)


 * I didn't see any such thing in the link. In fact, it shows what would seem to be the "old" route as SC 544 and the other as "South Carolina 544 Overpass", without a shield. I wasn't aware that Google Maps was considered a reliable source. The same linked map, e.g., also labels two roads as US 501, where one is actually US 501 Business! (We edit conflicted, I'll answer following...) --Chaswmsday (talk) 16:47, 12 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Well, it looks like you've rewritten it anyway. Thanks. I've found Horry County just about as unhelpful as SC. (Their real estate interface doesn't seem to allow for address searches). But I did a Google Streetview and found a business called "HCR, Inc." on the old route. Google Maps shows a business at that point called "Lube-N-Wheels" at "477 South Carolina 544". HCR maps to an owner/billing address, and a corporation search for Lube-N-Wheels maps to owners at the same address. Anyway, the parcel's legal description is "N OF COX FERRY RD; E OF OLD 544". A street address in the real estate system might have been cool, but apparently you get what you get... --Chaswmsday (talk) 17:24, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
