That should be District 1.

I found this intersection at Oakwood-Gainesville, GA. But I'm wondering about the "10" with the traffic signal. It goes by at Mundy Mill Road (SR 53). It starts at SR 211 as "1" and ends at M ever Rd as "13". WHAT ARE THOSE NUMBERS FOR??

It's a southern thing...

I believe the numbers are used by some cities as a way to reference signalized intersections.

I made these interchange guide signs from the 1990's

Compare it to the one below:

Yesterday I learned that the exits for GA 400 are to be renumbered! I assume that means they'll be numbered by mile from 400's southern origin at I-85. Per Google, that'd make I-285 exits 7A and 7B instead of 4A and 4B now. They did the same thing two years ago on GA 316 at the GA 53 interchange, which is numbered 27 for the mileage from 316's origin at I-85-- the earlier GA 81 interchange, only six miles to the west, is exit 5, presumably because it's five miles from the Gwinnett-Barrow county line.

If you hear anything more, like when it happens or if it really is a sequential-to-mileage-based it remembering, keep us posted.

I have a question about a site on GA 94 in the Georgia Bend.

Was this tower specifically an old fire tower? Because it sure looks like one. And if so, I'll have to report it to this site;

Question on the business loops, are any of them active anymore? Travelmapping is listing one in Cordele as still active but it has no signage at all, and the rest have just shields on the interstate and really sparse signage otherwise. Were these already decommissioned or somehow hanging on?

From 2022, but I don't recall seeing it before: Here's a plan for an interchange at GA 316 and the Oconee Connector. No improvements to 316 at Loop 10 are included. Link

Making Loop 10/316 a full system interchange would be a substantial project; I doubt GDOT will do it unless they pursue Interstate designations for the upgraded GA 316 and Loop 10, which is not GDOT's M.O.

You don't even necessarily need a full system interchange, just a 2-lane flyover from Loop 10 West to SR 316 West.

The opposite movement is already a free-flowing ramp.

While an interstate designation isn't likely between I-85 and Athens, the entire route ought to be upgraded to full interstate standards... it seems they are closing intersections one by one, slowly, as time progresses, so it will one day get close.

Some of the major projects in Georgia that have been funded:

I-75/I-16 interchange (Segment 6) in Macon
I-16 widening (Phase 1) west of I-95 (Chatham, Effingham, Bryan and Bulloch Counties)
I-75 SB C-D lanes at I-285 interchange
I-75 South Express Lanes Upgrades (Henry County)- convert the reversible express lanes to bi-directional
SR 400 North GA Extension - Phase I (Lumpkin County)
SR 365 Widening North of I-985 (Hall County)

I-75 SB C-D lanes at I-285 interchange
I-75 South Express Lanes Upgrades (Henry County)- convert the reversible express lanes to bi-directional
SR 400 North GA Extension - Phase I (Lumpkin County)- freeway extension

Really looking forward to these three, especially the express lane conversion project. Hopefully something similar is down the road for the tollercoaster as well, especially on a design speed perspective.

The Tollercoaster, at least between I-285 and I-575, is next to a 10-lane stretch of I-75. In my limited experience, traffic backs up there but it's nowhere near as bad/consistent in both directions as backups on the south side, where there's only six purpose lanes. North of I-575 would be good for bi-directional express lanes though, SB I-75 backs up a lot there.

I-75 around Lake Altoona and Acworth is a huge bottleneck. There are always slowdowns and wrecks on that stretch of highway. In addition, NW Georgia is growing. A lot of industry is being built on the I-75 corridor between Chattanooga and Atlanta. Next year, the Hyundai Battery Plant is opening in Cartersville, bringing 5,000 jobs to the area.

Looks like the SR 400 project in Lumpkin county is not a freeway extension but rather a road widening from 2 to 4 lanes after it crosses the river.
