New bike wayfinding road markings and signage will be installed on SIPOA roadways in April. The goal is to divert bike traffic off of Seabrook Island Road and onto safer interior roadways with less vehicle traffic.  The recommended bike route can be seen in the figure below.  What property owners and guests will see are new markings on the roadways which consist of bike symbols, direction arrows and signs along the route which will hopefully direct bike traffic off Seabrook Island Road on the North half of the loop, and on to less busy roadways and multi-use paths.

Bike safety is a topic that has been studied by both the Safety and Security and General Operations and Maintenance Committees in 2024 and 2025.  This recommended bike route has existing in SIPOA handouts for years, but both committees felt that guests on Seabrook were likely unaware of the route.  The additional signage and road marking will make the route more visible to bikers and encourage its use.

SIPOA will be looking for property owner and bike user feedback on the effectiveness of the markings after they are installed, and soliciting comments and suggestions on how to make the wayfinding graphics more useful.  If successful, SIPOA may explore additional roads and pathways that could use wayfinding graphics that would be helpful to bikers to arrive at other destinations.
