State Route 22 begins at the Alabama state line cosigned with U.S. 80. Together, the two routes travel east from Columbus, passing through Talbotton and Knoxville, before arriving in Macon, Georgia. In Macon, SR 22 departs US 80 and travels northeast to Gray, cosigned with US 129/SR 11. In Gray, SR 22 departs the two routes, and travels east through Milledgeville, then northwest to Sparta. After a brief cosignage with SR 15 north of Sparta, the two routes split, and SR 22 continues north, passing through Crawfordville and Lexington, to reach its northern terminus at SR 72 in Comer.
State Route 22 sees significant traffic around the Columbus area and between Macon and Milledgeville. Between Columbus and Macon, most through traffic has been to diverted to SR 96, which has recently been upgraded for implementation into the Fall Line Freeway. North of Sparta, SR 22 sees scant usage; the Average Annual Daily Traffic (or AADT) is less than 2000 vehicles north of the cosignage with SR 15.[1]
