Notes
I-185 is named the Chet Atkins Parkway for its entire length. It is also known as the unsigned Georgia State Route 411.
The rural portions of I-185 were equipment with call boxes as part of a pilot program. It is currently the only stretch of interstate highway in Georgia to be so equipped (Kolb, et. al. 2000).
