[edit] Number of lanes

I changed the claim of I-75 briefly having 9 northbound lanes just north of I-285 to 8 NB lanes. This satellite photo shows only 8 NB lanes, with 4 coming from I-75 south of I-285, and 4 lanes coming from I-285 (2 from EB, 2 from WB I-285). I could find no combination of lanes (continuous I-75, lanes from I-285 EB or I-285 WB, or exit lane to Windy Hill Road) that gives 9 lanes. 8 lanes appears to be the maximum, unless this photo is out of date and there's another source. I drove this area in January 2005, and like a road geek, counted the lanes. I remember several occurences of 8 lanes but not 9. Is there a newer source to prove me wrong? Thanks.

I checked it out myself, and there are indeed 9 at one point – but it's a bit farther north, beyond Windy Hill. –Pedriana (talk) 21:55, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Does a merge lane really count as a lane? It's not even continuous to the next exit (e.g. as an exit-only lane, which some would still not even consider a lane (although I would)). Ufwuct 17:56, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Statewide View

The introduction has only an Atlanta-wide view, while the article is supposed to cover all of Georgia. Can this be corrected? Diez2 00:31, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

It talks about following the route of US 41 throughout the state and discusses its name from the Atlanta to the TN line (and ignoring namings within metro Atlanta). That seems pretty statewide. —C.Fred (talk) 00:37, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
