Bannered Routes
SR 5 over its history has contained a tremendous number of bannered routes. The current and notable former ones are as follows:
- State Route 5 Connector – Kennesaw
Follows part of Barrett Parkway from US 41/SR 3 to I-575/SR 5]]/SR 417.
- State Route 5 Connector – Canton
Established in 1999 along a new connector road from SR 140 to SR 5 BUS. This short route was originally slated to be a new location of SR 140.
- State Route 5 Spur – Marietta
Established in 1987 on a limited-access connection to Old SR 5 (Canton Road) on what had been SR 5 Connector prior to the relocation of mainline SR 5 to I-575 in 1985.
- State Route 5 Alternate – Jasper and Ellijay
Two sections of Old SR 5 were retained as SR 5 ALT in Jasper and Ellijay while the new route was under construction. The Jasper portion was first formed in 1981, extended in 1984, and deleted in early 1986. The Ellijay portion was first formed in 1984 and deleted when work was completed on the new route in 1986.
- State Route 5 Business – Woodstock
SR 5 BUS was established in 1986 along the former SR 5 when SR 5 was relocated to I-575. The route extends actually west and north of the downtown of Woodstock, but is the major commercial strip for the city. All but 2 miles (3.2 km) of the highway are actually parts of SR 20 and SR 140.
- State Route 5 Business – Ball Ground
SR 5 BUS in Ball Ground is mostly SR 372, but resulted in 1 mile (1.6 km) of new route in 1989 to make a full business route for the city, though it actually runs west of downtown. The highway follows the former SR 5 and part of the old Jasper By-Pass.
- State Route 5 Business – Blue Ridge
SR 5 BUS in Blue Ridge maintained Old SR 5 through Blue Ridge as a state highway, but was deleted in 1989 along with its overlapping route, US 76 BUS.

Famous quotes containing the word routes:
“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
