Agree with those that recommend totally avoiding Atlanta. Our drive to/from Western Massachusetts doesn’t involve Atlanta, but we always take a wide loop to totally avoid going anywhere near Hartford, NYC, Jersey, Delaware, Baltimore, and D.C. We would rather drive more miles and eliminate the likely traffic jams of large urban areas. The only big city we have to pass through on our trips is Charlotte, which typically isn’t bad as long as we avoid morning or evening rush hours. Safe travels.
