Transportation

The best mode of transportation in this city is very often driving. Nearby highways, such as US Hwy 60, are reasonably easy to reach from any home in Charleston, and accessing a place to park is generally easy.

Charleston is also not very suitable for pedestrians since running common errands is impractical without the use of a car.
