Route Description
The route's northern terminus is in the community of Climax at NC 62 in Guilford County. Shortly after beginning, the route crosses into Randolph County. Running southward as a two-lane road, NC 22 goes through the town of Franklinville and enters Ramseur, where it meets US 64/NC 49. Continuing south out of Ramseur, NC 22 joins NC 42 in the small community of Coleridge. The dual numbered road then continues southeasterly through the community of Bennett in Chatham County where it meets a terminus of NC 902. Shortly after, NC 22 splits from NC 42 and runs south into Moore County.
After crossing the Deep River, NC 22 meets NC 24/NC 27. From that intersection, the three routes become cosigned for a five-mile (8 km) stretch into Carthage. NC 22 splits from NC 24 and NC 27 in Carthage after looping around the Moore County courthouse. Exiting Carthage as McNeill Street, NC 22 joins US 15/501 for a one-mile (1.6 km) stretch before running independently to its southern terminus at NC 2 in Southern Pines. The route ends just shy of NC 2's interchange with U.S. 1.

“no arranged terror: no forcing of image, plan,
or thought:
no propaganda, no humbling of reality to precept:
terror pervades but is not arranged, all possibilities
of escape open: no route shut,”
—Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
“The type of fig leaf which each culture employs to cover its social taboos offers a twofold description of its morality. It reveals that certain unacknowledged behavior exists and it suggests the form that such behavior takes.”
—Freda Adler (b. 1934)
