Route description

Its eastern terminus at the North Carolina state line at North Carolina Highway 75 (NC 75). SC 75 is a 55 mph (89 km/h) road for most of its existence, as it is here. After running for two miles (3 km) through the tip of Lancaster County, SC 75 overlaps U.S. Route 521 (US 521), running south. From Hancock, the road continues on with US 521 for five miles (8 km), before merging off near the community of Van Wyck. SC 75 heads in the town's direction and about 2 miles (3.2 km) past US 521 is the "downtown" of the tiny community. SC 75 bends to the left at a fork. From there, SC 75 only has one mile (1.6 km) left in its route, as it passes through Van Wyck's farmland and the AME Zion Church before ending at SC 5 for its western terminus.[2]

History

Established in 1937 as a renumbering of SC 12, it originally ran from US 521 to the North Carolina state line in Hancock. By 1964, SC 75 was extended to its current western terminus at SC 5 in Van Wyck, replacing part of SC 504.[3]

gollark: What? Why is that a config file?! You should be defining routes in your code.
gollark: Yes, that is a bit weird and not ideal.
gollark: In JS many config files are just JS.
gollark: But the thing is, YAML has rules of some sort, which you have to understand in many weird edge cases, but they're too complicated to memorize or something.
gollark: English is not machine-parseable. Unlike Lojban. Lojban config file WHEN?
