STATE	ROUTE	DESCRIPTION
GEORGIA-NORTH CAROLINA	New U. S. Route
(See special note below)	(Georgia Section) This routing would begin in Savannah at the junction of State Routes 26 and 21, thence northwesterly with S. R. 26 to junction with State Route 17 northwest of Savannah, thence northwesterly with S. R. 17 via Guyton, Oliver, Millen, Midville, Louisville, Wrens, Thomson, Washington, Elberton, Royston, Lavonia, Avalon, Toccos, Clarksville, Helen, and Hiawasse to the Georgia-North Caroline State Line south of Hayesville, North Carolina. (North Carolina Section) Beginning at the North Carolina-Georgia State Line south of Hayesville on State Route 69, thence north to U. S. 64 at Hayesville, thence west on U. S. 64 to junction with State Route, five miles east of Murphy, thence north on State Route to U. S. Routes 19 and 129 at Marble.
Special Note: DENIED AS TO BOTH STATES For the reason that the route over which the proposed new U. S. Route is to be marked is not up to the standards for Primary highways as required under the Purpose and Policy in the Establishment and Development of U. S. Numbered Highways, Section 14, adopted by AASHO on January 1, 1959. To be accorded a new U. S. Route Mumber, the prestige of AASHO is involved as it is a certification by AASHO to the public that enough through traffic is involved that uniform interstate route numbering is essential for the convenience of that traffic, that the route is the best and shortest route between two major traffic generating areas, and that the road fully satisfies the design standards of a modern Primary highway. The Route Numbering Committee will reconsider the request when these requirements are satisfied.
CALIFORNIA	U. S. 91 B. R. Recognition of a Business Route
