    How is Atlanta traffic these days since they’ve been opening up?

    I have a delivery in the industrial area off HWY 70 west of I285. I’m going to be sitting 96 miles out on I85 northeast of the city mid week. Trying to gauge how long to give it. I’m thinking 4 hours, 1 hour early, 3 to drive in. I suspect I’ll be needing to find a place to park and wait, but it’s better to be early than late. But if the traffic is light, that will be really early.

    Yep, that’s what I figured. It is what it is.

    One look at Google maps will reveal all. It was nice for a few weeks at least. :p

    The good news is the crazy lockdowns are coming to an end.

    I’ve been to the Atlanta area twice in the last 2 weeks traffic has picked up but I don’t find it to be as bad as before the pandemic imo.

    I’ll take good ole suck butt traffic to everyone sitting at home not buying what I deliver. I’ll even refrain from cursing at them once or twice.
