Bobby sez: love your state-name shields!


Georgia has never been that good at making shields. They have a habit of putting tiny modifiers, like "BUS.", inside the shield instead of above it, which is much harder to see in the rain, at night, or if you have bad eyesight. (Get off the road, in the latter case.) They have trouble making wide US shields, and two adjacent shields won't look anything alike. And no, I'm not drawing generalizations off of these Wadley assemblies only.


Around the Swainsboro bypass, featuring state-name shields and more tiny Business routes. The first photo is the previous old alignment of bypassed US 1, in Dellwood. After that, you see how the newly dualized highway has a bunch of stubs on the west side, anticipating the hot future business potential of Swainsboro. Yeah, those stubs might be there awhile.


Four-laning (aka dualization) in progress in 2005, courtesy Lou Corsaro. Georgia wants to four-lane US 1 through the state - not a terrible idea. The first photo was actually taken just north of Swainsboro, which is now fully a four-lane highway.


The first photo, courtesy Lou Corsaro, shows two Junction shields, the first of which adds a highway name that no one ever uses. That first assembly is now gone, leading to the other photos that I took.


GA 46 WB came in just before the I-16 interchange. These photos head down to Oak Park, where the future bypass breaks off at the same point that GA 46 leaves US 1. Just before that point, I take one look back north at dualization construction.


I look north as the Oak Park bypass comes back in, then dualization continues several miles until I take another look back north.
