Georgia State Route 316 (also known as University Parkway, GA 316 or 316) links metro Atlanta with Athens, Georgia, home of the University of Georgia. The state route is 39.08 miles in length. Georgia 316 begins at Interstate 85 exit 106, near Lawrenceville, passes through Bethlehem, Georgia and Statham, Georgia and ends at the Georgia State Route 10 Loop near Athens. Sections of 316 are multiplexed with U.S. Highway 29, U.S. Highway 78, Georgia State Route 8 , and Georgia State Route 53 . The first five miles of the state highway are freeway-style; the rest of the route is at-grade with traffic signals. 316 is often considered to be a very dangerous road: the speed is posted at 65 mph, but cars have been clocked at speeds in excess of 100 mph. State legislators have been in talks to upgrade the highway to interstate standards.
