Atlanta natives I need advice!

Sephitrask · 04-08-2012, 06:55 PM

I am going to be running several hours behind the caravan, and am trying to decide which way to go from florida. I can either go 75 through atlanta or 95 to 26. If I take 75 It will put me in Atlanta between 4:30 and 5:00. How bad will traffic be during that time? should I take 26 instead?

It's always a crap shoot through Atlanta. Some days the traffic is not too bad, depends on what is going on. I'm used to all the traffic and just allow the extra time. It's hardly ever a dead stop.

Have a safe trip. See you at Deals Gap,

I'm guessing you are planning on taking I75 to I85 to I985 and so on. (like last year's route). Expect a lot of traffic on I75 and I85 at least to I985. You can possibly try taking I675 (off of I75) and take I285 to I85 North. Usually I285 going north on the eastside moves pretty good until you come up on I85.
