Specifically after football games but with as bad as traffic has gotten at all times, I’ll listen to those suggestions as well

I would have kept enrollment to the level in the late 90's

or so, instead of our current 22k+ undergrad enrollment. Assuming that 'unlimited budget' included an endowment that would have allowed the college to continue to enhance student offerings without having to increase enrollment by about 35-40%

high speed rail and increased public transpo.
More roads dont decrease traffic best and most effective method is to have less cars on the road.

Since you said specifically after football games, I'd aspire to be like Scar football so the traffic would be bad at halftime.

The blue one and the green one, right? Space and time?
Why not just use the red to change reality and create a 3D ZeroG ramp for each Clemson fan to their house and the away fans into Hartwell.

How would that help the traffic problem?

Seems to me by making more spaces for more cars to park, you’re making the traffic problem worse. More cars = more traffic.
That’s what got us here in the first place - and I’m not only referring to traffic problems in Clemson.
I really hope some of you people didn’t graduate from Clemson.

By providing more parking spaces, and different lanes to park on different levels a parking garage can help reduce the number of vehicles driving around in search of parking, thus reducing traffic congestion.
Have larger parking garages further away from Death Valley. Reducing the concentration of people parking right around the stadium allows more space and more avenues for people to get from A to B. If everyone is driving within a half mile radius of the stadium, you are going to have worse traffic than if people are driving to fewer locations inside of a 3-mile radius then leaning on bus shuttles/pedestrians can reduce traffic further. You could even close certain roads for bus shuttles only to keep the flow going.

Get rid of the cops.

In all honesty. The ONLY game I can remember that post-traffic wasn't a sh*t show afterwards was when all of the cops were rerouted for hurricane traffic coming up from the coast.
Not sure what game it was but I remember getting onto 123 within 15 mins of leaving and running into zero stops.

That's the winner right there. Cops get things out of sync, letting too many or too few cars move when the next set of cops are doing the opposite.
A highly synchronized set of lights with AI balancing/maximizing at each intersection to maximize overall throughput.
Also, a magic shield over the whole area that prevents people from being traffic a-holes probably would be a big help.

The 1989 Rolling Stones concert.
There were no cops coming in or going out. Took an hour to get the three miles from my house just off Berkeley Drive to a friends house on North Clemson Ave. it was even worse going home.
It was a total nightmare. I prefer having the State Patrol on the job.

Buy all the tickets myself and sit in the stadium alone right on the 50 yard line. No traffic problem after the game as I would be the only one leaving. I would also give the university $10 million per game to cover lost revenue from concession sales. As long as it’s a sell out and the school makes plenty on concessions, Clemson officials will be happy.

from DV that, when you get to your car, you just hop in and drive home.

I would buy everyone a hotel room for the night right in Clemson. And if there weren't enough rooms, I would build more. Man, solving problems is child's play with an unlimited budget. The government has it so easy.

there aint a thing that can be done
Apr 19, 2023, 3:52 PM

why:
College students want to party. you can only do that off-campus.
Students need to get to campus for class.
Students need food.
Students need socialization and activity.
Therefore they drive
... traffic is not bad at all when the students are gone.

Create a new By Pass to avoid 123. Just kidding but the traffic between Seneca and Easley through Clemson is God awful. Something seriously needs to be done. It’s like that with the majority of upstate SC now.

go through Clemson twice a day...Coming home is the worst... The DOT should have bought more right of way back in the 70's when possibly it was affordable. I wonder what it would cost now,because basically, you would have to purchase almost every business on 123....and then, where would people eat?
