traveling south

Traveled this route end of February. I will always avoid in the future. Beside the right lane always disappearing the drivers are not very friendly. Many horns, speeding beyond the 55-60mph posted. It was cold outside but many had a window open and fingers flying in the wind. I will avoid Atlanta forever.

After I looked at the map I should have traveled I-75 south to Adair, to US 27 south to Buena Vista, east on SR 26 back to I-75

If you are not willing to move with the flow through ATL it will be harder to move over (plenty of cars having to passing you) and you will get plenty of friendly waves (a sign that you are doing something to make them unhappy). Using 27 might be a better option... everyone will be happier.

Heading south through Atlanta couple questions, 1) is there a good time to drive through? 2) would it be wise to go down 95 south or even 65 south? leaving from cincinnati, traveling to Miami fl.

I like coming down 75 to Chattanogga to Birmington,Ala to Montgomery,Ala down 231 thru Dothan to I-10...mabe 100 miles longer but nice ride..Chuck

went this route in reverse and it was a-ok..Chuck

In my opinion,there is no good time to drive through Atlanta.

We drove down from NE Indiana to Ft. Lauderdale this past November, passing through Cincinnati on I-75. Rather than pass through Atlanta, we elected to take I-40 East at Knoxville to I-26 East at Asheville, connecting to I-95 South close to Charleston. According to Mapquest, this route was 20 minutes longer, but much more scenic and avoids Atlanta. The bad news is the stretch of I-95 between Jupiter and Miami, but you'd hit some of that anyway if you followed I-75 all the way. Something to consider...

Should have been clearer, but this is in reference to the traffic volume, coupled with aggressive drivers. Can get a bit crazy at times.

At Jupiter, jump over on the turnpike. The tolls won't kill you like the drivers and congestion will.

Oh, and get a Sunpass ....it will save you time and money.
