Atlanta Traffic Suggestions. I was raised in Gwinnett County (NE suburbs up I-85 Atlanta) learned to drive in mid 1980’s. Moved to Dallas. TX mid 1990’s & San Diego in 2011. As my family still Atlanta I return once or twice every year. Outside LA Atlanta has most traffic.
My mom moved to The Villages in 2020 and I drive her back to Atlanta about 4 times a year. It’s 420 miles her house to my sisters (Gwinnett County) and depending on timing for Ocala, FL & McDonough, GA takes almost 7 hours.
The key is use 285 around Atlanta (East for I-85 & West for I-75) only go through downtown before 6 am or after 9 pm. Regardless of Atlanta traffic once you’re South of 285 on 75 McDonough can get you. Henry county has been expanding exponentially for a decade and there’s no way to avoid that choke point except for timing to be able to use HOV.
