State Route 37 is a west-east state route located in the southern part of the U.S. state of Georgia. The route travels from the Alabama state line west of Fort Gaines east to U.S. Route 84/State Route 38 west of Homerville.
[edit] Routing
From its western terminus at the Alabama state line, the route travels east, through Fort Gaines, and through generally rural areas of Clay County and Calhoun County. In the county seat of Calhoun County, Morgan, the route takes a turn to the southeast, passing through Baker County, and its seat, Newton, before entering Mitchell County. In Camilla, the route resumes its easterly routing, passing through the cities of Moultrie and Adel, where it has an interchange with Interstate 75. In Ray City, State Route 36 becomes cosigned with U.S. Route 129/State Route 11 to Lakeland, where U.S. Route 221 and State Route 31 join the cosignage. Just east of Lakeland, the routes split, with U.S. 129/S.R. 11 continuing south and U.S. 221/S.R. 31 continuing north. State Route 37 continues east into Clinch County, where it meets its eastern terminus at U.S. Route 84/S.R. 38 west of Homerville.
[edit] Significance
State Route 37 is largely a remote, rural route, with an Average Annual Daily Traffic of less than 5,000 vehicles for most of its length, except around Adel and the cosignage with U.S. Routes 129 and 221 east of Lakeland. [1]
[edit] Banner routes
State Route 37 has one banner route, Georgia State Route 37 Connector, a short road connecting State Route 37 with U.S. Route 129 just east of Lakeland.
