A survey of 3,000 roadtrippers identified one Georgia highway as one of the scariest roads in the country.

Also known as Martha Berry Highway, U.S. Route 27 ranked as the 44th most feared route. The state road is a 356-mile highway that spans the length of the state and as far north as Fort Wayne, Indiana. The southern route will take you to Tallahassee, Florida.

The roadway runs through Columbus, LaGrange and Rome. The scenic route takes you through Callaway Resort and Gardens; and Wautauga State Forest.
