The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) plans to install a temporary all-way stop intersection on SC-6 at Meadowfield Road and Jim Spence Road in Lexington County beginning March 13. This change is part of an ongoing project to build a roundabout at the intersection, which SCDOT says is intended to improve safety.
Why it matters
The installation of the four-way stop is a precursor to the construction of a new roundabout, which transportation officials believe will enhance safety at this intersection. Roundabouts are becoming more common in South Carolina as the state works to improve traffic flow and reduce accidents at busy intersections.
The details
SCDOT says signs have already been placed in the area to notify drivers of the upcoming traffic pattern change. The all-way stop will be in place ahead of the roundabout construction, which is expected to be completed in 2027.
- The all-way stop will be implemented starting on March 13, 2026.
- Construction of the roundabout is expected to be completed in 2027.

What’s next

The takeaway
This project is part of SCDOT's ongoing efforts to enhance traffic safety and flow in Lexington County by transitioning busy intersections to roundabouts, which have been shown to reduce accidents and improve traffic efficiency.
