📰 News we're reading

• Port Wentworth semi-truck ban officially enforced (wsav.com) — Port Wentworth has begun officially enforcing a new semi-truck ban along a two-mile stretch of Coastal Highway from Grange Road to Bonnybridge, rerouting heavy freight to better-suited roads. City leaders say the change is meant to improve safety, support walkability, and clear the way for new downtown restaurants and shops, while police increase patrols and new signage helps truckers avoid tickets.
