Police presence on King Street
On weekend nights, the Charleston County Police close one side of King Street to limit through traffic while locals and tourists are enjoying late night bars and restaurants on King Street! You will see heavy police presence at night on King Street because of this but they are just there for safety and to limit traffic for pedestrians! Have fun and be safe!
