Route description

From its western terminus, SR 50 assumes an eastward trajectory as it skirts the southern shores of Lake Martin, traveling through rural areas of Elmore and Tallapoosa counties. East of where the highway would cross into Macon County if it were to continue its eastward trajectory, the highway takes a sudden turn to the northeast as it heads towards Camp Hill.

After sharing a brief wrong-way concurrency with US 280 at Camp Hill, SR 50 resumes its eastward trajectory as it crosses into Chambers County. The highway continues eastward, traveling through La Fayette before it reaches its eastern terminus at Lanett.

gollark: You know, it would be really funny if I edited Planck's constant and thus kilograms.
gollark: They just defined Planck's constant as a fixed value, and the only other units used in it are metres and seconds, which have a definition.
gollark: kg.
gollark: I don't know what the thing is, but that's your problem.
gollark: So if you just divide Planck's constant by something in m^2 s^-1, you get kilograms out!
