NC/GA: GA 246/NC 106 naming question
« on: January 19, 2022, 11:31:05 am »
I drove this road the other day and didn't even realize it went back and forth across the state line before I looked at the map afterwards. The road weaves across the state line a few times and as such is currently entered into TM as ga.ga246, nc.nc106cha, ga.ga246rab, nc.nc106nan, ga.ga246sky, and finally nc.nc106.

Most of the state line crossings are marked by these little signs. After driving this a few days ago, it is clear that Georgia maintains everything west of the easternmost crossing (which is where all the full state welcome signs etc. are located), and mileage on GA 246 increases through the NC segments. That suggests to me that the western NC 106 segments should probably be renamed to some versions of nc.ga246.

Note that the NC mile markers on this map also uses the parts that dip into Georgia from the westernmost state line crossing.

https://connect.ncdot.gov/resources/Asset-Management/HatchMaps/Milepost%20Atlas%20-%20Div%2014_C03.pdf

Google maps says it is 8.2 miles from that westernmost crossing to SR 1621, same as the map linked above.

I'm inclined not to change anything...
