Georgia Highway Scenes

This page documents photos from various locations in Georgia.  All photos were taken by the webmaster (Adam Froehlig).

Eastbound I-20 reassurance shield.  This shield both has the state name within the shield and also uses a very thick font for the numerals.  Photo taken prior to 2002.
Early morning view of an overhead guide sign on eastbound I-20, approaching the large interchange at I-75/85 near downtown Atlanta.  Photo taken December 28, 2000.
Overhead guide sign at the ramp to I-59 South from eastbound I-24.  I-24 only briefly (about 5 miles) dips into Georgia from Tennessee, so by agreement the exit numbers and mileposts follow I-24's Tennessee mileage.  Photo taken July 4, 1999.
Westbound guide sign on approach to the same interchange.  Photo taken July 5, 1999.
Georgia welcome sign on northbound I-75.  Georgia has had the same (sans Governor on the bottom) welcome sign since at least 1999.  Photo taken August 31, 2007.
This photo was taken from an airplane on final approach into Atlanta's Hartsfield Int'l Airport.  This is looking to the south on I-75.  The bridges for I-285 are in the background to the upper left.  This interchange is today's Exit 239 at Aviation Blvd/Charles Grant Pkwy.  One notable aspect is that the HOV lanes along I-75 have their own interchange at this point, in the form of a SPUI with all left-hand ramps.  Photo taken in May, 2000.
Overhead guide sign on northbound I-75/85 in Atlanta, approaching the interchange where the two routes split.  Photo taken December 28, 2000.
Southbound I-95 at the GA 251 interchange near Darien.  Photo taken August 12, 2003.
A rare GA I-185 shield with the state name.  Interestingly, I-185 does not begin for another 3 miles north.  This is at the beginning of the limited-access freeway within Fort Benning.  Photo taken in May, 2000.
Another GA I-185 shield within Fort Benning.  Notice the difference in styles between the above two shields.  Photo taken in May, 2000.
US 27/GA 1 shields in the Fort Oglethorpe area near Chattanooga, TN.  Unlike Alabama and Tennessee, Georgia co-signs the underlying state highway route with its U.S. highways.  Photo taken prior to 2002.
Eastbound US 76 (with here-unsigned GA 2/GA 515) at GA 66's southern terminus in Young Harris.  Photo taken December 1, 2001.
Overhead signage on westbound US 80 in Columbus.  The Georgia side of the US 80 freeway has exit numbers.  Photo taken in May, 2000.
Northbound BUSINESS US 27 at US 278 in Cedartown.  Photo taken prior to 2002.
A curvy segment of GA 52 in southeastern Gilmer County.  Photo taken December 1, 2001.
Northbound GA 100 at the I-20 interchange near Tallapoosa.  Note both the state name on the I-20 trailblazer and also the "GA 100" sign on the eastbound I-20 overpass, even though the bridge carries I-20 and not GA 100.  Photo taken prior to 2001.
