State Route 5 (SR 5) is a state highway that runs south–north through portions of Carroll, Douglas, Cobb, Cherokee, Pickens, Gilmer, and Fannin counties in western and northern Georgia. The route runs from its southern terminus at SR 48 at the Georgia-Alabama state line, north of Ephesus, to its northern terminus at SR 60 and SR 68 at the Tennessee state line near McCaysville, bisecting the northwestern portion of Georgia. ==Route description== SR 5 starts at the Georgia-Alabama state line just east of Graham and north of Ephesus, in Carroll County, where the route continues west into Randolph County, Alabama as SR 48. In Carroll County, the route initially runs northeast, but soon turns to the east, and bisects the southern portion of rural Carroll County. SR 5 crosses U.S. Route 27/SR 1 (US 27/SR 1) in Roopville, and continues east until it nears the Chattahoochee River, where it turns northeast to parallel the river, and runs through Whitesburg. SR 5 continues northeast, then cuts north into Douglas County, where it is locally known as Bill Arp Road, crosses Interstate 20 (I-20) in the northern part of Douglas County, and heads through Douglasville.〔〔〔 Continuing northeast, and having picked up concurrencies with US 78/SR 8, the route heads through Lithia Springs, crosses US 278/SR 6, and passes into Cobb County and Austell. In Austell, SR 5 splits from US 78/SR 8 and heads slightly northeast through the western parts of Smyrna to just west of Dobbins Air Reserve Base. Running concurrently with SR 280, the routes wind to the north around Dobbins as South Cobb Drive, and SR 5 splits off and runs north by itself into Marietta as Atlanta Road. The route then makes a sharp turn to the west and runs concurrently with SR 120 Loop, and both turn north again to just avoid the Marietta Square to its west.〔〔〔 Curving to the northeast past the square, SR 5 leaves its concurrency with SR 120 Loop behind and heads north yet again, first as Cherokee Street, then Church Street, and curves to the northeast as it crosses US 41/SR 3. Soon thereafter, SR 5 merges with I-75 for a very short distance, and then splits off I-75 north of Marietta, together with its concurrency with I-575, and heads north and northeast into Cherokee County in the direction of Woodstock. From Marietta to Blue Ridge, the route parallels the Marietta and North Georgia Rail Line.〔〔〔 SR 5 remains concurrent with I-575 for that route's entire distance, as the two roadways bisect Cherokee County, and bypass Holly Springs, Canton (crossing the Etowah River north of Canton), and Ball Ground. North of Ball Ground, near Nelson, I-575, as well as the freeway portion of the route, terminate, and SR 5, now concurrent with SR 515, crosses into Pickens County. The routes curve northwest around Jasper, then turn back to the north near Talking Rock on its way into Gilmer County and Ellijay. In Ellijay, SR 5 picks up a concurrency with US 76/SR 2, and heads northeast into the Chattahoochee National Forest in the direction of Blue Ridge in Fannin County. In Blue Ridge, US 76/SR 2/SR 515 head off to the east, while SR 5 heads northwest to McCaysville and its northern terminus at the Tennessee state line, where the route intersects the northern terminus of SR 60 (Toccoa Avenue) and continues into Tennessee as SR 68 (which also has the Toccoa Avenue name).〔〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Georgia State Route 5」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
