52-606: State Route 166 ( SR 166 ) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Georgia . It connects the Alabama state line with the city of Atlanta . The highway travels through Carrollton , McWhorter , and East Point . Except for the Carrollton and East Point/Atlanta areas, the highway is fairly rural . In Atlanta, it has a limited-access freeway portion that is known as the Arthur B. Langford Jr. Parkway (formerly named

104-512: A designated National Highway System , but the system is completely unsigned, aside from the Trans-Canada routes. This makes Canada unique in that national highway designations are generally secondary to subnational routes. In Germany , state roads ( Landesstraßen or Staatsstraßen ) are a road class which is ranking below the federal road network ( Bundesstraßen ). The responsibility for road planning, construction and maintenance

156-539: A due-east direction and intersects SR 100 (Wedowee Street/North Carroll Street). Almost immediately, the highway travels to the northeast. After leaving the city limits of Bowdon, and just before an intersection with Dixson Road and West Jonesville Road, SR 166 begins to curve to an easterly direction. It passes just north of Anderson Lake shortly before crossing over the Little Tallapoosa River . Nearly 2 miles (3.2 km) later, it enters

208-804: A member of the Georgia State Senate . Smith's literary career thrived after the war, and letters that he wrote as "Bill Arp" to the editor of the Atlanta Constitution earned him a position as a columnist for the newspaper. He typically wrote in "Cracker dialect " about politics, government, current events, race relations, farming, and other topics. He edited newspapers in Rome and Cartersville, Georgia and Atlanta and published five books: Bill Arp's Letters (1870), Bill Arp's Scrap Book (1884), The Farm and Fireside (1891), A School History of Georgia (1893), Bill Arp: From

Charles Henry Smith was born on June 15, 1826, in Lawrenceville, Georgia . He attended the University of Georgia , and married Mary Octavia Hutchins, the daughter of a wealthy lawyer and plantation owner. Their family grew to include 10 children who survived to adulthood. Smith studied law with his father-in-law,

312-530: A population of at least 10,000 inhabitants are urban roads (type D and E) under the jurisdiction of the relevant municipalities. The state highway that cross towns or villages with a population of less than 10,000 inhabitants are urban roads (type D and E) under the jurisdiction of the municipality, subject to authorization from ANAS . State highways in India are numbered highways that are laid and maintained by state governments . Mexico 's State Highway System

364-437: A proposed piece of SR 400 . By the beginning of 1978, the proposed extension (and possibly the rest of the limited-access portion) was proposed to be designated as I-420. Also, the proposed eastern terminus was extended to I-20 between its crossing of Sugar Creek and its interchange with Gresham Road. Along the way, the proposed interchange with SR 400 was changed to one with the northern terminus of I-675 . In 1985,

416-521: A southern branch of SR 8. In 1927, US 78 split into two divided routes, with US 78S being designated from Heflin, Alabama to just northeast of Carrollton, via Bowdon and Carrollton, on the southern branch of SR 8. By 1932, US 78S/SR 8 were paved from Carrollton to just northeast of town. In the middle of 1934, US 78S/SR 8 were paved from the Alabama state line to about Bowdon. By November of that year, US 78S

468-523: A state or province include both nationally numbered highways and un-numbered state highways. Depending on the state, "state highway" may be used for one meaning and "state road" or "state route" for the other. In some countries such as New Zealand , the word "state" is used in its sense of a sovereign state or country. By this meaning a state highway is a road maintained and numbered by the national government rather than local authorities. Australia 's important urban and inter-regional routes not covered by

520-617: A three-digit number designation, preceded by D . Provincial roads ( Turkish : İl yolu ) are secondary roads, maintained by respective local governments with the support of the KGM. The roads have a four-digit numbering grouped as two pairs, pairs are separated by a dash. First pair represents the license number of that province . State highways are generally a mixture of primary and secondary roads, although some are freeways (for example, State Route 99 in California, which links many of

The highways in New Zealand are all state highways, and the network consists of SH 1 running the length of both main islands, SH 2–5 and 10–58 in the North Island, and SH 6–8 and 60–99 in the South Island. National and provincial highways are numbered approximately north to south. State Highway 1 runs the length of both islands. Local highways ( Korean :  지방도 ; Hanja :  地方道 ; RR :  Jibangdo ; MR :  Chipangdo ) are

624-496: Is a 3.7-mile-long (6.0 km) connector of SR 166 that is mostly within the city limits of Carrollton . It is entirely within Carroll County . It is known as Linda Lane from its western terminus to its intersection with SR 113 and Northside Drive from SR 113 to its eastern terminus. SR 166 Conn. begins at an intersection with US 27 / SR 1 on the northern edge of Carrollton, where

676-490: Is a system of urban and state routes constructed and maintained by each Mexican state. The main purpose of the state networks is to serve as a feeder system to the federal highway system. All states except the Federal District operate a road network. Each state marks these routes with a white shield containing the abbreviated name of the state plus the route number. New Zealand state highways are national highways –

728-521: Is divided into states and has state highways. For example, the longest highway in the state of São Paulo , the Rodovia Raposo Tavares , is designated as SP-270 and SP-295 . Canada is divided into provinces and territories, each of which maintains its own system of provincial or territorial highways, which form the majority of the country's highway network. There is also the national transcontinental Trans-Canada Highway system, which

780-452: Is free to choose a different marker, and most states have. States may choose a design theme relevant to its state (such as an outline of the state itself) to distinguish state route markers from interstate, county, or municipal route markers. Bill Arp Charles Henry Smith (June 15, 1826 – August 24, 1903) was an American writer and politician from the state of Georgia . He used the pen name Bill Arp for nearly 40 years. He had

832-605: Is marked by distinct signs, but has no uniform numeric designation across the country. In the eastern provinces, for instance, an unnumbered (though sometimes with a named route branch) Trans-Canada route marker is co-signed with a numbered provincial sign, with the provincial route often continuing alone outside the Trans-Canada Highway section. However, in the western provinces, the two parallel Trans-Canada routes are consistently numbered with Trans-Canada route markers; as Highways 1 and 16 respectively. Canada also has

884-568: Is not a road class. The Strade Statali , abbreviated SS, is the Italian national network of state highways. The total length for the network is about 25.000 km (15.534 mi). The Italian state highway network are maintained by ANAS . From 1928 until 1946 state highways were maintained by Azienda Autonoma Statale della Strada (AASS). The next level of roads below Strada Statali is Strada Regionale ("regional roads"). The routes of some state highways derive from ancient Roman roads , such as

936-406: Is vested in the federal states of Germany. Most federal states use the term Landesstraße (marked with 'L'), while for historical reasons Saxony and Bavaria use the term Staatsstraße (marked with 'S'). The appearance of the shields differs from state to state. The term Land-es-straße should not be confused with Landstraße , which describes every road outside built-up areas and

988-611: The Chattahoochee River . It travels through mostly wooded land on its way to an intersection with SR 70 / SR 92 / SR 154 (Campbellton-Fairburn Road). The four-highway concurrency travels to the north-northeast, bypassing the Boundary Waters Aquatic Center. The highways reach an intersection with Fairburn Road, where SR 92 departs to the north. At this same intersection, SR 70/SR 154/SR 166 turn right and travel to

1040-553: The Greenbriar Mall and have an interchange with Greenbriar Parkway. Just over 2 miles (3.2 km) later, along the Atlanta- East Point city line, they have an interchange with DeLowe Drive and Stanton Road. The highways enter East Point proper and have an interchange with US 29 / SR 14 / SR 139 (although the last two are not signed on the exit signs . At this interchange, SR 154 departs

1092-543: The Lakewood Freeway ). SR 166 was originally the Georgia segment of U.S. Route 78S (US 78S), which was later redesignated as US 78 Alt. The Lakewood Freeway portion of this highway was, at one time, slated to become designated as Interstate 420 ( I-420 ), but that project was cancelled. SR 166 begins at the Alabama state line, on the northeastern edge of Ranburne, Alabama , where

Other examples are the Strada statale 1 Via Aurelia ( Via Aurelia ) and the Strada statale 4 Via Salaria ( Via Salaria ). Since the reforms following the birth of the Kingdom of Italy in 1861, the State took charge of the construction and maintenance of a primary network of roads for connections between

1196-497: The Chattahoochee River farther to the north than it used to. SR 154 and SR 166 traveled concurrently from just east of the river to about the current SR 6 intersection. By the beginning of 1948, the southern branch of SR 8 was redesignated as SR 8 Alternate . Also, SR 166 was paved from the northern SR 92 intersection to the Chattahoochee River. In either 1952 or 1953, US 78 Alt.

1248-551: The Langford Parkway meet their eastern terminus, and interchange with Lakewood Avenue SW. The road that would eventually become SR 166 was established in 1920 as part of SR 34 from Carrollton to just northeast of the city (at today's intersection of SR 166 and SR 61). By the end of the third quarter of 1921, SR 16 was designated from the Alabama state line, west of Bowdon to Carrollton. By late 1926, SR 16 and SR 34 were redesignated as

1300-576: The National Highway or National Route systems are marked under the State Route system. They can be recognised by blue shield markers. They were practically adopted in all states by the end of the 1980s, and in some states, some less important National Routes were downgraded to State Routes. Each state has or had its own numbering scheme, but do not duplicate National Route numbers in the same state, or nearby routes in another state. As with

1352-475: The National Routes and National Highways, State Routes are being phased out in most states and territories in favour of alphanumeric routes. However, despite the fact that Victoria has fully adopted alphanumeric routes in regional areas, state route numbers are still used extensively within the city of Melbourne as a part of its Metropolitan Route Numbering Scheme . Brazil is another country that

1404-517: The SR ;92/SR 154/SR 166 concurrency on the west side of the river and cross back over west of Atlanta. It wasn't until the 2015-2016 edition of GDOT's state map that the section from I-75/I-85 to Lakewood Avenue was returned to the map. SR 166 was originally supposed to extend (as I-420) from I-20 near Douglasville in the west to the DeKalb County seat of Decatur in

1456-644: The cities of the Central Valley , Route 128 in Massachusetts, or parts of Route 101 in New Hampshire). Each state has its own system for numbering and its own marker. The default marker is a white circle containing a black sans serif number (often inscribed in a black square or slightly rounded square), according to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). However each state

1508-484: The city limits of Carrollton . At an intersection with Maple Street, which leads to downtown Carrollton, SR 166 turns to the right onto what is essentially a bypass of the main part of the city. It passes to the south of Sunset Hills Country Club and then reaches the Wayne Shackelford Interchange with US 27 / SR 1 / SR 16 ( Martha Berry Highway). SR 166 continues to

1560-459: The concurrency to the north. SR 166 re-enters Atlanta and has an interchange with Sylvan Road and Cleveland Avenue. About 0.5 miles (0.80 km) later is an interchange with Perkerson Road, which leads to US 19 / US 41 / SR 3 ( Metropolitan Parkway ). SR 3 is not signed on the exit sign. Almost immediately is an interchange with I-75 / I-85 ( Downtown Connector ). Approximately 0.8 miles (1.3 km) later, SR 166 and

1612-596: The county. At the Douglas county line, the Bankhead Highway name ends and the J. Ebb Duncan Memorial Highway name begins. SR 166 continues winding its way through mainly farmland and rural areas on its way to McWhorter . Here, it intersects SR 5 ( Bill Arp Road) by way of a traffic circle . A short distance after crossing over the Dog River , the highway begins paralleling the western shore of

At an intersection with the southern terminus of SR 61 (Carrollton-Villa Rica Highway), SR 166/Bankhead Highway turn right and resume their eastward trek. They weave through rural portions of

1716-410: The east-northeast, concurrent with SR 16, as well as US 27 Alt. , which begins at that interchange. The three highways curve to the northeast and travel to the southeast of Richards Lake . At an intersection with Newnan Road, US 27 Alt./SR 16 depart to the southeast, while SR 166 continues to the northeast. Just after Old Newnan Road, it curves to a due-north direction. Just to

In 1995, the Georgia Senate moved to rename the then-Lakewood Freeway to the Arthur Langford, Jr. Memorial Parkway in honor of the former Atlanta City Councilman and Georgia State Senator . Since 2003, GDOT has widened SR 166 between Greenbriar Parkway and Perkerson Road. Interstate 420 ( I-420 )

State roads ( Turkish : Devlet yolu ) are primary roads, mostly under the responsibility of General Directorate of Highways (KGM) except in metropolitan city centers where the responsibility falls into the local government. The roads have

1924-533: The proposed northern part of I-675 and the I-420 proposal were both removed from the GDOT maps. Also, the yearly map reverted the eastern terminus back to I-75/I-85. In 1992, SR 154 was rerouted on a concurrency with SR 166, from just west of the Chattahoochee River to the interchange with US 29, as it does today. In 2007, SR 70 was partially rerouted from the east side of the Chattahoochee River to follow

1976-479: The roadway continues as Alabama State Route 46 (Main Street). It travels to the northeast, through Carroll County . After curving to an east-northeast direction, and then beginning an east-southeast routing, it crosses over Big Indian Creek . The highway enters Bowdon and curves back to the east-northeast just before intersecting the northern terminus of Elm Street. Just to the east of Griffins Alley, it curves to

2028-429: The roadway continues as Columbia Drive. The highway leaves the city limits and travels on a nearly due east direction until it intersects SR 113 . It travels in a southeasterly direction and crosses over the Little Tallapoosa River , where it re-enters the city limits of Carrollton. After a gradual curve to the south-southeast, it meets its eastern terminus, an intersection with the SR 166 mainline. The highway

They pass Southwest Atlanta Christian Academy and just north of Ben Hill Park . Less than 0.5 miles (0.80 km) later, the Arthur B. Langford Jr. Parkway designation begins, and then they have an interchange with Interstate 285 (I-285; Atlanta Bypass). Almost immediately, SR 154/SR 166 pass

2132-694: The southeast. They curve to the east-southeast and cross over the Chattahoochee River into southern Fulton County on the Dick Lane Bridge. SR 70/SR 154/SR 166 continue to the east-southeast for about 1 mile (1.6 km), where SR 70 departs the concurrency by turning left onto Fulton Industrial Boulevard SW. SR 154/SR 166 curve to the northeast and gradually travel in more of an eastern direction and enter Sandtown . Here, they intersect SR 6 (Camp Creek Parkway). Just over 0.5 miles (0.80 km) later, they pass Sandtown Middle School and Asa Philip Elementary School. After

Meanwhile, Smith served as a major in the 8th Georgia Infantry Regiment and on the staffs of several Confederate generals, including Francis Bartow . After the war, Smith returned to Rome, but later moved to the nearby city of Cartersville, Georgia , living there after 1877. Active in politics, he served as alderman, mayor, and

2288-530: The word "state" in this sense means "government" or "public" (as in state housing and state schools ), not a division of a country. New Zealand's state highway system is a nationwide network of roads covering the North Island and the South Island . As of 2006, just under 100 roads have a "State Highway" designation. The NZ Transport Agency administers them. The speed limit for most state highways

It would have had a length of 5.40 miles (8.69 km). The only portion of it actually built was SR 166, known as Lakewood Freeway and now, Langford Parkway. The portion east of I-75 / I-85

2444-406: Was decommissioned. By the middle of 1954, an extension of SR 74 was designated along SR 154/SR 166 west of Atlanta. By the middle of 1955, SR 8 Alternate was redesignated as SR 166 from the Alabama state line to northeast of Carrollton. Also, SR 166 was paved from northeast of Carrollton to McWhorter. By the middle of 1960, all of the then-current length of SR 166

2496-500: Was extended across the Chattahoochee River and paralleled SR 41 to the east as it entered Atlanta on Campbellton Road, and intersected US 29 at Dill Avenue, farther north than it does today. Prior to the next year, all of the Fulton County section of SR 166 was paved. By the end of 1946, SR 41 was redesignated as SR 154. SR 92 and SR 166 traveled concurrently (as they do today). SR 166 crossed

2548-569: Was never built, due to public opposition from communities in its path. I-675 was built, however, and currently travels between I-75 near Stockbridge in Henry County to I-285 near Panthersville in DeKalb County . If I-420 had been built, it would have had the hidden designation of State Route 414 . I-420 was proposed in 1978, and was approved to be designated on September 29, 1983; had it been built, it would have cost $ 96.4 million. State Route 166 Connector ( SR 166 Conn. )

2600-472: Was paved. By 1966, the limited-access portion of SR 166 was under construction from I-285 to US 19/US 41/SR 3. Later that year, the construction was complete along that section. In 1967. the extension of SR 70 was renumbered as part of SR 70. In 1969, the limited access portion was proposed to be extended from its current eastern terminus, at Lakewood Avenue, past SR 54 and McDonough Boulevard (today's SR 42 Spur ) to end at
