Talk:List of state routes in Georgia/Archive 1

Grid
There seems to be a rough grid for low-numbered routes:
 * 2 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 22 24 26 30 32 38 40
 * 4 (matched FL pre-1945) - earlier ran south on current 61 (US 411) from 2 (now 53) in Fairmount 1921, appears to have become 61 by 1929
 * In 1923, the part along present-day US 411 is not even shown on the map; however, route 4 is shown proceeding west from 3 at Cartersville through Rome to the Alabama state line. This route appears to be modern SR 293 (east of Rome) and SR 20 (west of Rome).  This is, notably, between 2 and 6. —Pedriana 03:34, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * 20 (maybe matched AL??? )
 * If I'm reading the numbers correctly on this 1923 map, it looks like there was at that time a SR 20 running from Louisville to Waynesboro (south of Augusta). It's not quite in place, but not too far off (between 24 and 26, I think).  This route is now SR 24, while SR 24 at that time ran along what looks like present-day US 1/SR 4 through Wrens to Augusta.  This 1924 map appears to say the same. —Pedriana 03:34, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * 28 (matches SC and NC)
 * 34 (maybe matched AL???)
 * 36 (why?) - even out of place in 1932 on a different route
 * 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 21 23 25
 * 13 is west of 11, but used to be east as well 1986
 * 19 is west of 15 (why?)
 * 23 only sort of fits - it matched FL for a while after 1945 (but reached the border before 1945)

Differences on early maps of Florida (for these low numbers only):
 * 3 on 35 (US 319) south of Thomasville, at least through 1947! (35 on present 3 south of Thomasville)
 * 11 not on 1926 or 1927 (but another 1927 shows it at least north of Statenville, crossing the river there), went on 135 and 376 in 1932, ending at Lake Park - but 1930 shows it crossing the river just south of Howell and running on its current route through Statenville, all current in 1947, undated has it crossing at Statenville
 * 15 on US 1 to Waycross, no 4 there - 4 only in 1930 and 1932 (no 15 at all in 1932, at least not at Blackshear)
 * 23 not on 1932 map but on 1947 map, undated has it only north of Nahunta
 * 27 rather than 25 on US 17 to Brunswick in 1926 - was 25 in 1927 so maybe a typo
 * 40 seems to have run only east of Kingsland until between 1932 and 1947

Routes were numbered by 1920 -


 * Regarding 13 being west of 11, I believe 13 used to extend further up US 23, probably to at least US 441 if not the NC line, which would put a pretty sizeable portion of it east of 11 (and west of 15 and 17). —Pedriana 00:36, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah - that makes sense given 365 being alone. It was certainly 15 up near the state line though - see this 1921 map. This 1986 map takes 13 at least to Toccoa - presumably it ran to South Carolina on US 123. --SPUI (T - C) 01:03, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * And it did reach the border - --SPUI (T - C) 01:15, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Page title
The title of this page seems a bit cumbersome. Perhaps it should be moved to List of Georgia State Routes State Routes in Georgia? Technically it would be more correct too (the current title implies all numbered routes, including U.S. Highways and Interstates). –Pedriana 03:05, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Altered the proposal – we can also make it like the articles for many of the other states, so that it contains more than just the list, but also general information on the State Route system, which otherwise currently has no suitable location. –Pedriana 23:30, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * There probably should be a simple list of U.S. Routes and Interstates below. GDOT uses state highway for roads maintained by the state - so how about state highways in Georgia, and then describe the three numbering systems used? --SPUI (T - C) 23:59, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

I';d prefer Georgia State Routes. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs)  16:50, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Routes - yesterday and today
This information is mostly from 1923, 1924, and 1939 maps, as well as a current GDOT map. It is a list of each route and whether it is the same as it was in the early 1920s. If not, the different times each existed are listed. --NE2 07:50, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

High numbers
These numbers (600+) are, as far as I know, not signed and generally seem to be used primarily for construction projects. –Pedriana (talk) 17:35, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Georgia State Route 103
This was the road from Columbus to Buena Vista. Parts are still called Buena Vista Road or Old Columbus Rd. This was the path of the Dixie Overland Highway, the early transcontinental route from Savannah to San Diego. Later much of the area became Fort Benning. - Parsa (talk) 23:30, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Reformatting requested
This page needs to be reformatted using the routelist top, routelist row, and routelist bottom templates, as per the standard of WikiProject U.S. Roads. Also, I believe that the Interstate highways and U.S. Highways in the state should either be included on this page or put on their own pages (as a List of Interstate highways in Georgia (U.S. state) page).

 * I'm a little confused... You don't seem to have a COI, so you don't need to use request edit, which is specifically for users who can't edit due to COI. You're free to go ahead and edit yourself! cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 07:54, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

Requesting split
Special state routes and state routes should be split into separate articles. Cards84664 (talk) 11:54, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose— No rationale actually given for a split.  Imzadi 1979  →   22:39, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
 *  Reply -, , article is now over 300 kB. --Jax 0677 (talk) 18:36, 8 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Reopening request; I initially removed the template from the page because this request hadn't seen activity for over 6 months. Now that I think about it, I figure it's time to reopen it with a proper rationale. My rationale for supporting Cards' split request adds on to what Jax mentioned about the article's size: it's currently over 500 kB as of this post. A typical article size should be somewhere under 100 kB per WP:SIZE. No one wants another WP:TLDR situation. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk •&#32;contribs) 00:38, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Oppose. The proposed name is not needed. As an aside, the special routes section here should have a little summary paragraph added. It shouldn't be anything fancy, but a basic paragraph discussing the them, with some sort of summary on numbers, lengths, etc. If that were added, the proposed new title would be incorrect.
