- BillMFlExplorerAtlanta is a******shoot. I sailed straight thru and used both the east side and west side belt ways. They all work fine at non rush hours UNLESS there is an accident. Then you are screwed! One Sunday it took me 2 hours to go less than 10 miles. We were shunted off onto local roads and traffic was backed up for miles at every stop light intersection until we could finally get back on the interstate. During the week, traffic is heavy anytime of day, but rush hour is terrible. And we have encountered big delays more often than not. On weekends it is usually heavy but moving fast. Lots of aggressive speeders changing lanes constantly. We used to hit Atlanta twice a year when the wife's best girl friend used to live there. Thankfully she moved. I now avoid Atlanta totally. I65 to Montgomery is my preferred route to/from your area. From Montgomery you can head to Tifton, Ga for I75 or Dothan, Al to I10. There are some very nice highly rated GoodSam RV parks along the way.
- RetiredbladeExplorerThere are 3 cities I would rather go out of my way then go through: NYC, Chicago, Atlanta. I went through Atlanta on a Sunday, between 10-3, encountered a accident in which I had to divert off I-75 for two exits then back on. The steering wheel still has indentations in it where my hands were gripping! It was like a race track going through that place!
