Transportation

Driving is usually the preferred approach to navigate Hanahan. It is very easy to park, and it is a reasonably short car ride to the closest highway from anywhere in this part of the Charleston metropolitan area. Although riding a bike is made easier by the generally flat terrain, Hanahan is not particularly conducive to biking because the bicycling infrastructure is rather limited. It is also impractical for pedestrians to navigate this city because few common errands can be run without needing a vehicle.
