The Wagener Police Department advises residents that the smoke currently visible in the Wagener area is the result of a large wildfire burning in South Georgia, estimated at over 27,000 acres. Due to shifting wind patterns, smoke from this fire has traveled into our region and may cause reduced visibility and air quality concerns.

Residents are encouraged to use caution while driving, limit prolonged outdoor exposure if sensitive to smoke, and check on elderly neighbors or those with respiratory conditions. At this time, there is no active wildfire threat within the Town of Wagener.

If you observe any local fires or emergencies, please call 911 immediately.

The Wagener Police Department is happy to announce that the SCDOT road work throughout Wagener is almost complete. We are grateful for the SCDOT’s attention to our community’s asthetics and safety.

With that in mind, we are aware of some concerns in the placement of signage by the SCDOT at the intersection of Sand Damn Road and Main Street. We are also aware of some misinformation being disseminated on social media about the signage; specifically that the “no left turn” sign should have be removed.

We have reached out to the SCDOT for clarification on the placement so as to ensure that we are providing accurate information from the authoritative source. The response we received from the SCDOT is as follows:

“Officer Martin,

The SCDOT has the "No Left Turn" sign at the intersection of Sandam Rd and Main St in Wagener installed due to the Geometry of the intersection and the fact that it is a yield-controlled intersection. It would be unsafe for traffic to make a left turn without stopping to look for oncoming traffic. The SCDOT has no intention of removing this sign and You can go ahead and enforce it accordingly.

SCDOT Aiken, SC”

The WPD understands your frustration which may have been perpetuated by inaccurate information provided by nonstakeholders. It is our wish to counteract this misinformation with transparency and accuracy.

Municipalities, nor their law enforcement agencies, are involved in anyway with the determination of traffic signage and its placement… This is determined solely by the engineers with the SCDOT.
