Don't have a favorite. Haven't been on a lot of them in recent years.
I chose I-20 only because I was on it a few years ago so I can remember it the best.
It's all fun & games until someone summons Cthulhu and brings about the end of the world.

I also collect traffic lights, road signs, fans, and railroad crossing equipment.

Easily the Downtown Connector in Atlanta, which is shared by I-75 and I-85! (if only because all that traffic reminds me of Los Angeles)

I-95, since it's been widened it's a dream.
I-16? Ewww...drove it once and thought I'd been thrown back in time 20 years...

As far as scenery goes it has to be I-75 north of Atlanta.  Other than that I can tell you the landscape around the rest of the interstate system is nothing to write home about.

Agreed!

I-95 in the only Georgia interstate that I've driven, so I really can't say that I have a favorite.  I need to make it down to Georgia and drive some more of their roads for a base of comparison.

I-516, because in 3rd grade when I routinely rode upon it to school it was GA Loop 26. Then when I returned to Savannah in 1985, "When did this change to I-516?!"

I voted for I-75 because it's the mightiest, being six lanes for almost its entire length though Georgia. It also has acquired more texture over the decades. But IMO I-575 deserves an honorable mention for the cool-looking concrete box girder bridges south of Canton and the generous bifurcations to the north.

For sheer quality, I suppose I-95 is the best, though. And I used to hate I-16, but I don't anymore.  :spin:

I pick 985 because how many 9xx 3dis are there? Very few. (I've only driven 985 and 990 in Buffalo). Plus... Mall of Georgia anyone?

I-905 coming soon to California. Until it's submitted it's signed as State Route 905.

I think there's 980 as well. Still a rare breed

I just voted for 985 purely for childhood/hometown sentiment from the GA 365/pre-I-985 days.  Nowadays, if I'm going to the mountains, the hilly, curvy stretch from Exit 17 to Exit 24 provides a nice intro to what is about to come.

I-75, you 75, WE ALL 75.

No, seriously, it's the interstate I've probably spent the most time on in GA.

I wanted to say I-85 because it's the Interstate I'm most familiar with, but being only four lanes north of Buford and south of Newnan docks some points, as does the fact that it spends its entire route on the Piedmont.

On the other hand, I-75 is at least six lanes the entire way through Georgia, and it passes through most of the geologic provinces in the state as well. In the Coastal Plain province, I-75 passes through flat, sandy and swampy terrain from the Florida state line to Tifton, rolling hills from Tifton to Unadilla, and heavily dissected terrain from Unadilla to Macon. In the Piedmont province, I-75 passes through moderately dissected terrain from Macon to McDonough, and a high plateau from McDonough to Kennesaw through the heart of metro Atlanta. In the Appalachian Highlands province, I-75 passes though its first set of bona fide mountain ridges from Kennesaw to Cartersville before passing through the Great Appalachian Valley from Cartersville to Dalton. From Dalton to the Tennessee state line, I-75 passes through the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians.

As for other Interstates, I-16 and I-20 are bland. I-95 is pretty interesting, though, since it passes through flat, estuarine terrain. I-59 isn't in Georgia very long, though it's scenic.

Having lived through many years of construction, I have to pick I-95 now that the three laning is done. probably now the most pleasant portion of I-95 from Florida to NJ.
