State Route 69 was a state route located entirely in Towns County in the extreme northern part of the U.S. state of Georgia. The route ran from U.S. Route 76/State Route 2 north to the North Carolina state line, where it became North Carolina Highway 69. The route followed the route currently cosigned as State Route 17/State Route 515. Created sometime in the early 1930s, the route was renumbered in 1958.

State Route 131

State Route 131 was a state route located entirely in McIntosh County in the coastal part of the U.S. state of Georgia. Established as a highway number in 1936, the first routing followed present-day State Route 99 east of U.S. 17 from Darien to the present-day terminus of State Route 57. It was moved to Harris Neck Road east of U.S. 17 as a fully paved route in 1944 and extended along Jones Road in 1948 via a brief overlap with U.S. 17. When the route was extended along Jones Road, it became a double spur with both sections extending off of U.S. Route 17/State Route 25. This was the only such instance of a highway in Georgia where neither of the two endpoints terminated at a state highway. The western leg of State Route 131 extended to the Jones Community along present-day Jones Road continuing as a county road beyond the western end. The eastern portion (Harris Neck Road) extended to Harris Neck National Wildlife Refuge. The western leg was the first to be decommissioned, turned to the county in 1977. The eastern leg lasted longer, most likely held back to obtain funding for a couple bridge replacement projects, until 1989.

Route 160
State Route 160 is a former Georgia state route in northern Clayton County and southwestern DeKalb County. Its western terminus was at U.S. 19/41 and S.R. 3 near Interstate 285, from which it proceeded in an east-southeasterly direction through Forest Park for approximately 2.0 miles (3.2 km) to an intersection with S.R. 54 near Lake City. The route then turned north-northwest, joining with S.R. 54 for about 1.4 miles (2.3 km), then turned northeast for 2.3 miles (3.7 km) before reaching its other end at U.S. 23/S.R. 42, again near I-285.
S.R. 160 was turned back to local maintenance in the mid-1990s, likely due to its proximity to S.R. 331, which was separated from S.R. 160 by little more than a set of railroad tracks in Forest Park. The segment between S.R. 54 and U.S. 23 still survives as S.R. 54 Connector.
For a time, it was uncertain whether the designation route had in fact been removed in full due to an official Georgia Department of Transportation map of Clayton County dated 2005 continuing to label a portion of the route between S.R. 54 and the DeKalb County line as S.R. 160. However, that map was later updated and the label was changed to indicate the route as S.R. 54 Connector.

State Route 176 in Georgia was a route assigned to Cobb County, Georgia. It ran for about fifteen miles (24 km) from C.H. James Parkway (U.S. Route 278) in Powder Springs to Cobb Parkway (U.S. Route 41) in Acworth. S.R. 176 was located entirely within Cobb County. The route was also known as Richard Sailors Parkway, New Macland Road, Lost Mountain Road, and Mars Hill Road. Famous landmarks along the former route include Lost Mountain Store, which is now a bank, and McEachern High School, which was once an A&M school. S.R. 176 was turned over to county maintenance in 2010.

Route 205
State Route 205 was assigned to Bells Ferry Road in Cherokee County. This route was turned over to county maintenance in 1985. Though Bells Ferry Road does connect downtown Marietta with Canton, Highway 205 began at its junction with State Route 92 in the Oak Grove district of southern Cherokee County. In the mid 1990s, Bells Ferry Road underwent an upgrade to a four-lane urban design roadway. This expansion of Bells Ferry Road, including part of the former S.R. 205, started at I-575 and ended at South Fork Way, just north of Kellogg Creek Road (Old S.R. 92).
Motorists use this road to access places such as the Little River Marina area of Lake Allatoona, Towne Lake Parkway, and the Bridge Mill development area south of Canton. The route originally formed a cutoff route between Acworth and Canton that was needed until the need was reduced by the completion of I-575. There are no plans to restore the state designation of 205.
