Been over 5 years since I went through there. Cringed when my GPS took me right through town.
Hit there about noon and pretty much had the road to myself. Couldn’t believe it
That’s because rush hour ends at 10-10:30. Lots of employers are allowing flex time for workers to arrive at work. Rush hours are longer on both ends of the spectrum. I try to avoid the freeways in the morning. It’s often faster to get where I’m going using the surface streets.
I drove through Atlanta on the 75/85 connector midday on a Saturday in 2006. There was quite a bit of traffic.
