Current Events > Driving from Indianapolis, IN to Ocala, Florida.. help me skip Atalanta...

(+) Yeah! (+)

The last god damn time I made that trip, I got stuck in Atalanta in wall to wall stand still traffic for about 2 and a half hours.

Google maps is not helping me in the slightest.

Only way I found out of the way was taking 185 through Montogomery and going around but you lose about an hour. I don't see any other way to not lose at least an hour going around it.

The only other option i saw is once in Atlanta to get on I-285 ugh

gotta weigh in on the options. if anything you would gain an hour otherwise if the traffic was backed up and the only option was to use the horn or finger to voice your displeasure.

Hit Nashville and go 40 East and then hit 95 South.

Pretty much Interstate all the way.

Don't know if that will add mileage and time for your trip though.

Atalanta

Probably just stop before Atalanta and leave after rush hour lets up.

Google maps has something where you can drag the route somewhere else. Since you appear to be struggling.. https://imgur.com/a/7G1MPZi this adds 30 minutes on and skips atalanta, hits 285 and then back to 75.

You're welcome.

hmm that will work. i guess we shall see next friday.

You can't really just skip Atlanta, you can only go really far around it. That said once you get past the airport theirs virtually no traffic. I'd advise looking for a route that takes you closer to the airport and you can just go from there.

Or just don't drive through Atlanta between the hours of 7 am to 9 pm

Funny thing is when I was stuck for 2 hours, it was 2 AM.. that's been awhile but still.

Marietta seems to go around Atalanta and hits up at 285 near the airport so I'll end up going that route depending on traffic. But since I'll probably stay in Marietta, I'll just check the traffic when I get up.

May not be that bad :/

wasn't she a greek demigod? If so, you're fucked. She'll hunt you down where ever you go.

If you did it on a Sunday that's construction day.

There was also a time where 75 was fucked cause of a stadium, 85 collapsed, and a gas main exploded under 20 all at the same time.
