Cobb County Road Quiz: Same Street, Different Name (Part 2 of a series)

The words "Quiz Time" in large cartoon font

It isn’t unique to Cobb County, but many roads change their names after crossing certain other intersections, sometimes multiple times (I can think of one continues road that has four different names along its course).

The quiz below (with links to where you can find the answers) has a few questions to test your knowledge of road changes in the county. There are so many such roads that this will be Part 2 of that quiz series. Usually the answer links at the bottom point to articles. This time they point to maps.

To take Part 1 of the Same Road, Different Name quiz follow this link.
