[edit] Signage
The old SC Highway shield design.
In 2007, the Legislature allowed the signs marking the state highways to be changed from the old black-and-white to the new blue-and-white design, which features an outline of the state, the Palmetto Tree & Crescent symbol from the state flag, and the words "SOUTH CAROLINA" spelled out along on the top of the highway shield.[1] South Carolina uses a wide shield for all routes, the width most states use only for three-digit routes. The former shield was a simple white rectangle with a black border, with the letters "S.C." on top.
[edit] Interstate highways
Interstate highways that pass through the state of South Carolina, along with auxiliary routes:
