On the Dougherty County side of Albany, the city has 459.74 miles of paved roads. The majority of these paved miles, a total of 399.69 miles, is maintained by the City of Albany itself. Another 38.52 miles of Georgia state routes run through Albany, and 21.53 miles of county roads run through the city as well. Albany also has 5.93 miles of unpaved roads, 5.60 miles of the unpaved roadways being city streets, and another .33 miles of unpaved, public roadway being county roads. In total, the city of Albany has 465.67 miles of paved and unpaved roads running through the city.
The Department of Transportation here in Georgia also measures the “lane mileage” within a city, in order to account for the fact that some roadways have several lanes. A number of Albany’s roads have more than two lanes, usually consisting of either additional lanes or turn lanes. The Albany city streets average 2.11 lanes each. The Dougherty County roads average 2.6 lanes in width. The Georgia state routes are much wider than either the Albany city streets or the Dougherty County roads, averaging 3.96 lanes of travel.
The Dougherty side of the county has a great deal of traffic; each day drivers put 1,899,301.38 vehicle miles on Albany’s roads. In general, the majority of traffic in a Georgia city travels on the state routes, even though the percentage of roads maintained by the State of Georgia is quite small. Albany is an exception to the rule. The Georgia state roughts do bear more than their share of traffic. Although the state has just an 8.3% share of the total roadways, its roads bear just 39.8% of the traffic. The state measures the load on a road by looking at the “Daily Vehicle Miles Traveled” on a given road, adding together all the miles driven by all of the drivers on the road in a given day. Of the 1,899,301.38 vehicle miles traveled on Albany’s roads each day, 755,934.33 of the vehicle miles run on the state’s roads. However, unlike with many other major Georgia cities, the majority of miles still are driven on the city-maintained streets. Albany maintains 70.4% of the roads in the city limits, and those roads bear 54.6% of the miles driven each day, or 1,036,531.58 vehicle miles per day. The Dougherty County roads account for 13.5% of the total road mileage, and only 5.6% of the daily vehicle miles traveled on Albany roads.
