South Carolina Road Scar

An inexplicable 10-15 foot section of highway or interstate in South Carolina that is so scarred to the point it damages vehicle tires, throws off alignments and jolts sleepy motorists awake. Usually occurring after(and most notoriously along I-95) and even more inexplicably hundreds of feet prior to bridges and overpasses, they resemble charred sections of pavement that have been neglected for decades. Also, they are not extended sections of pavement, they usually only last a half second when traveling at typical South Carolina interstate speeds (82-92 mph). In rare cases, the scar extends the entire span of a bridge; however most of these South Carolina Road Scars have been slowly repaired over the course of 15 years.
