U.S. Highway 82, U.S. Highway 61 and the Great River Road (Mississippi Highway 1) are the main transportation arteries through the Greenville area.

In 2010, a new four-lane Greenville Bridge crossed the Mississippi River south of Greenville into Lake Village, Arkansas. This $206-million cable-stayed span and the longest of its kind in the continental United States, replaced the now-demolished Benjamin G. Humphreys Bridge as the primary bridge.

Rental cars are available at the airport. Car is the primary way to travel around Greenville. Limited taxi services operate throughout the city but are not common to find. There is also a bus station on Highway 82, although it is only open for a few hours each day and sends and receives a very limited number of buses. Walking around the downtown area can also an efficient way to get around, although the downtown area of Greenville is notoriously unsafe and crime-ridden even in the day.

Stay safe

Crime

The town is notorious for its bad crime, often considered to be among the worst in the nation. The downtown area in particular and much of the town north of Highway 82 (this highway is often seen as a sort of "dividing line" by many) is continuously ridden with theft, assault and other crimes, sometimes even in daylight and in popular areas such as near the library or churches. If you must go into more dangerous parts of Greenville, do so in the day, and be accompanied with other people; it is less dangerous for a woman to go along with men. The most that can be done to protect yourself is to use the most common sense as feasible, such as always locking your vehicle and never leaving valuable items inside, staying away from dark and deserted areas and not taking dangerous routes when it isn't necessary, and not drawing too much attention to oneself (i.e., wearing expensive jewelry or wearing revealing clothes). While police have made some attempts to monitor and patrol downtown Greenville more, many residents complain that the town's police force is still very ineffective. Much of south Greenville - for example, along Highway 1 South near the Nelco Movie Theater and Country Club, South Main Street near the Bowmanor Subdivision and Bayou Road, and the area surrounding Cypress Road - is considered to be generally safe and inhabited by middle- to upper-class families, although some crime occasionally drifts into these areas as well.

Islamophobia & Racism in Greenville (Mississippi)

Greenville is a town of ever-present and prominent racial discord, despite moderate progress since the 1950s. Many older, more upper-class whites (a small yet powerful minority) in particular still harbor views of varying degrees of racism, although this phenomenon is significantly less common in most middle-aged or younger whites (yet still very pronounced in others). Socializing and mixing with blacks too much could possibly be discouraged by some middle-aged white parents today, though it would have been a lot more common a few decades ago. Conversely, some blacks (whose race accounts for about 70% of the town's population) hold to what is commonly referred to as "reverse racism;" for example, it is often hard for a white teenager to find a job in local fast food or retail establishments where the management and all the employees are black. A visiting black man could possibly be looked down on by a white man, and vice versa. Both races often tend to form their own areas in the town, with a few middle-class areas being more or less mixed.
