unfortunately I live here. my local route starts in the afternoon during the worst part of the day(1PM~9PM) and requires me to drive through the heart of atlanta, TWICE. I used to take 285 up to GA400, but there's just too many dangerous merges, traffic chokepoints and other ########. Now I take 75 to GA400. I can stay in one lane the entire way to my destination. Much safer and faster. Trucks aren't supposed to go through downtown Atlanta but it's actually much better for local drivers. Just gotta watch your tracking because the lanes are narrow as hell.
