I-75 South Metro
I also saw mention of it in an article that was on the newspaper site, Atlanta Journal Constitution.
Ironically, two of our fastest times through Atlanta were during rush hour. I used to be hung up on weekends but that only worked about half the time.
Getting through Atlanta traffic truly is the luck of the draw. |
Boomer - Thanks for the clarification. I thought we also saw all the electronic signs along the way, however it's possible we may have missed one or two. We have a Sunpass decal, so apparently could have saved an hour or so if we had been more aware. What's done is done, no problem now.
We have been driving this route for years now, going south in the Fall, north in the Spring. We usually travel weekdays, and plan so we go through Atlanta between 10am and 2pm (occasionally as late as 2:30). We've never had a problem zipping right through Atlanta, altho, we occasionally get into traffic jams outside, more often south than north of Atlanta. We've been using the HOV lanes for the past 2 or 3 years. We tried the 231 route through Alabama once, & decided to not do that again, since it took about 1.5 to 2 hours longer.
