Traffic Safety Alert for Hilton Head Drivers: ‘Turn Around, Don’t Drown’

Following an intense weekend of heavy rainfall and thunderstorms, Hilton Head Island officials have issued an important safety advisory for all motorists. To prevent accidents and ensure community safety, drivers are urged to exercise caution and avoid unnecessary risks on flooded roadways.

Several roads on Hilton Head are currently experiencing standing water, with Marshland Road near Jessica Drive being notably affected. Motorists are reminded not to underestimate the dangers associated with driving through pools of standing water, as even shallow water can lead to vehicle damage or accidents. The recommended safety mantra is clear and straightforward: “Turn Around, Don’t Drown.”

Additionally, the town advises that some intersections may have traffic lights in “flash mode,” which must be treated as stop signs. Delays in traffic signal detection can also be expected. To ensure public safety, town officials are actively collaborating with the South Carolina Department of Transportation to assess and address flood-prone areas, placing cautionary signs where necessary.

Community members are encouraged to actively participate in maintaining safety by promptly reporting hazards such as downed tree limbs, flooded roads, or malfunctioning traffic signals via the convenient MyHHI mobile app.

They made everything easy for me! Even when I lost faith in the car accident where a drunk driver hit me, they helped me through every process. They were quick as they could be and made everything easier for me while being in the process of my move to Japan for the Navy, full time student, and planning my own wedding. I appreciated the help. Thank you!”

I had the pleasure of allowing Mr. Leland Malchow to represent my case and I would recommend 10star rating if possible. Not only was Mr. Leland very professional and knowledgeable, he also took the time to listen to my frustrations about my situation. He offered a listening ear, as well as some kind motivational advice. Our relationship has been through business only but I would extend a hand to him and the law firm from here on out. Thank you all and God Bless."
