Claim: Alabama State Route 96 continues through two counties and six towns in Alabama until it reaches the Mississippi state line.
Evidence: SR 96 begins at the eastern terminus of MS 50 in the southwest corner of Lamar County, at the border of Mississippi and about 5 miles (8.0 km) east of Columbus, Mississippi. Just after entering Fayette County, SR 96 very briefly curves north and slightly west before curving back to a northeastern course.
