U.S. Route 19
–
U. S. Route 19 is a north–south U. S. Highway. Despite encroaching Interstate Highways, the route has remained a long-haul route, the highways southern terminus is at Memphis, Florida, which is just south of St. Petersburg at an intersection with U. S. Route 41. Its northern terminus is in Erie, Pennsylvania, at an intersection with U. S. Route 20 about two miles from the shores of Lake Erie, the length of the highway is 1,438 miles, including both U. S. Route 19E/U. S. Route 19W paths through North Carolina and Tennessee, US19 runs 264 miles along Floridas west coast from an interchange with US41 in Memphis, south of St. Petersburg, and continues to the Georgia border north of Monticello. US19 remains independent of I-75, even as the routes converge in the Tampa Bay Area, the secret designation for US19 in Florida, between Memphis and Perry, is SR55. Between Perry and Capps, it follows SR20, and between Capps and the Georgia border, it follows SR57, according to a Dateline NBC study, part of US19 in Florida is the most dangerous road in the United States. Multiple efforts to improve US19 have been suggested to the FDOT, among them, currently, US19 between Clearwater and St. Petersburg is getting a freeway-style upgrade due to the cancellation of an extension of Interstate 375 in the late 1970s. US19 pursues an independent path in Georgia, with Interstate 75 as much as 50 miles away, from the north side of the state, the first town it passes through is Blairsville. After about 37 miles of extremely curvy road, it arrives in Dahlonega, prior to the realignment to become concurrent with SR400, US19 was what is now known as SR9, traveling through the town centers of Dawsonville, Cumming, Alpharetta, and Roswell. Most of this section is an access highway with 2 lanes in each direction. At the junction with I-285s north side, it once again switches to become concurrent with SR9 and it follows Roswell Road south through the city of Sandy Springs and enters Atlanta from the north side of the city. After several miles, it intersects with SR141 in Buckhead and this is also where Roswell Road ends and becomes Peachtree Street. After continuing south on Peachtree Street, it becomes Spring Street in Midtown and it turns west onto 14th Street for a few miles and then turns south again and becomes concurrent with US41 through Downtown Atlanta and Metropolitan Parkway through the south side of the city. Once it leaves Atlanta, it continues south through Clayton County where it joins SR3 and it then proceeds through the western tip of Henry County, passing through Hampton, home of the Atlanta Motor Speedway. It then proceeds south to Griffin and splits from US41 and it continues south, passing through Zebulon, Barnesville, Thomaston, Butler, Ellaville, Americus, and Albany before exiting Georgia just south of Thomasville. US19 is co-signed with US129 from the Georgia line to Murphy, then is co-signed with US74, US19 and US74 are co-signed as far as Ela, after which US74 veers south, leaving US19 to head into the Great Smoky Mountains. US19 passes through the Eastern Cherokee Indian Reservation, for a brief time, US19 is co-signed with US276. Then US19 is co-signed with US23 from Lake Junaluska to Mars Hill, just north of Mars Hill, US19 continues solo to Cane River, where US19 splits, US 19E towards Burnsville and US 19W towards Erwin, Tennessee

It is also designated—but not signed—as State Route 401, in downtown Atlanta, I-75 joins with I-85 as the Downtown Connector. I-75 is the longest Interstate Highway within Georgia and it enters near Valdosta, and it continues northward through the towns of Tifton and Cordele until it reaches the Macon area, where it intersects with I-16 eastbound towards Savannah. For northbound traffic wishing to avoid congestion in Macon, I-475 provides a relatively straight bypass west of that city. After Macon it passes the town of Forsyth. The freeway reaches no major junctions again until in the Atlanta metropolitan area, the first metropolitan freeway met is I-675, then followed by the Atlanta Perimeter bypass, I-285. It crosses inside the Perimeter and heads northeast several miles towards the Atlanta city center, I-75 then runs concurrently with I-85 due north over the Downtown Connector through the central business district of Atlanta.

This section of I-75 just north of I-285 has 15 through lanes, north of Marietta, the final major junction in the Atlanta metropolitan area is the I-575 spur. I-75 then traverses the hilly northern Georgia terrain as it travels towards Chattanooga, the 180-mile-long section of I-75 from I-475 to I-24 in Chattanooga is one of the longest continuous six-lane freeways in the United States. The highway that would eventually become I-75 in Georgia was an expressway that was open in 1951 from the southern part of Atlanta to University Avenue. It was projected from University Avenue to Williams Street in downtown Atlanta and this expressway was open from Williams Street to what is now the northern end of the Downtown Connector. It was also proposed from the Downtown Connector to the northwest part of Atlanta, by late 1953, this expressway was signed as US 19/US41 as far north as Lakewood Avenue. It was under construction from the Downtown Connector to Howell Mill Road and it was proposed from Howell Mill Road to the northwest part of Atlanta.

It declared its secession from the Union on January 19,1861 and it was the last state to be restored to the Union, on July 15,1870. Georgia is the 24th largest and the 8th most populous of the 50 United States, from 2007 to 2008,14 of Georgias counties ranked among the nations 100 fastest-growing, second only to Texas. Georgia is known as the Peach State and the Empire State of the South, Atlanta is the states capital, its most populous city and has been named a global city. Georgia is bordered to the south by Florida, to the east by the Atlantic Ocean and South Carolina, to the west by Alabama, the states northern part is in the Blue Ridge Mountains, part of the Appalachian Mountains system. Georgias highest point is Brasstown Bald at 4,784 feet above sea level, Georgia is the largest state entirely east of the Mississippi River in land area. Before settlement by Europeans, Georgia was inhabited by the mound building cultures, the British colony of Georgia was founded by James Oglethorpe on February 12,1733. The colony was administered by the Trustees for the Establishment of the Colony of Georgia in America under a charter issued by King George II. The Trustees implemented a plan for the colonys settlement, known as the Oglethorpe Plan. In 1742 the colony was invaded by the Spanish during the War of Jenkins Ear, in 1752, after the government failed to renew subsidies that had helped support the colony, the Trustees turned over control to the crown. Georgia became a colony, with a governor appointed by the king.

The subsequent influx of white settlers put pressure on the government to land from the Cherokee Nation. In 1830, President Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act into law, sending many eastern Native American nations to reservations in present-day Oklahoma, including all of Georgias tribes. Despite the Supreme Courts ruling in Worcester v. Georgia that ruled U. S. states were not permitted to redraw the Indian boundaries, President Jackson and the state of Georgia ignored the ruling.

Florida State Highway System
–
The State Highway System of the U. S. state of Florida comprises the roads maintained by the Florida Department of Transportation or a toll authority. The components are referred to officially as state roads, abbreviated SR, State Roads are always numbered, in general, the numbers follow a grid. Odd numbered roads run north-south, and even numbered roads run east-west, one- and two-digit numbers run in order from 2 in the north to 94 in the south, and A1A in the east to 97 in the west. The major cross-state roads end in 0 and 5, most routes of the form X00 are major diagonal routes, an even first digit indicates a southwest-to-northeast direction, and an odd first digit indicates a northwest-to-southeast direction. When the grid was first laid out in 1945, the rules were almost perfectly followed, however, over the years, as routes have been added, there has not always been room to follow the grid. Placements such as 112,752, and 602 are the most notable violations of the grid system, the Pensacola area has a collection of these misplaced street numbers. When FDOT added route numbers to a collection of Miami-Dade County streets in 1980, every section of U. S. Highway and Interstate Highway has a State Road number assigned to it, usually unsigned. In addition to some named toll roads some minor State Roads are also unsigned, prior to the 1945 renumbering, State Roads were given numbers in the order they were added to the system. The 1945 renumbering removed many roads that were never built and added some that had not existed prior to 1945, in 1955, the Florida Department of Transportation slowed down the addition of new state roads and began to classify roads into primary, secondary, and local roads. Primary roads would continue to be state-maintained, while Secondary roads would have an S before the number, local roads would be completely removed from the system. In 1977, FDOT changed the division of roads into state/county/local, most secondary roads and some primary roads were given to the counties, and occasionally a new state road was taken over, some main roads in incorporated areas were given to the localities. The secondary signs had the S changed to C and a small COUNTY sticker added to the bottom, as signs grew old, they were replaced with the standard MUTCD county road pentagon. While this occurred throughout the State of Florida, the part of the south of SR70 was hit particularly hard by the transition from State to County control. While most state roads are contiguous, there is a handful of routes that have interruptions in their designations. The most famous of the set is SR A1A, which exists in seven separate pieces along the Atlantic coast from Fernandina Beach to Key West, State Road 2 has two sections separated by the State of Georgia. State Road 5 temporarily ends leaving Lake Worth, FL as its segment in West Palm Beach was relinquished to the city in the mid 2000s, the route resumes at US 1s junction with Belvedere Road, where it runs concurrent with US1 northbound. State Road 15 has two sections bridged by County Road 15 and US 192/441, SR15 is only signed in the Orlando area and in Palm Beach County. For most of its route, SR15 is an administrative FDOT designation for US441 south of Holopaw, US17 between Orlando and Jacksonville, and US 1/23 north of Jacksonville
