How is traversing Atlanta on I-75 on a sunday afternoon ? Headed to Dade city FL this comming sunday, the 30th.
Keep an eye on this link if you can before you pass through or as you travel if you have the capability. Its a relatively accurate and good resource for real time conditions.

If 75 is bad look at 285 on the west side.
A more relaxing alternative to totally by-pass Atlanta is to move down on the west side of the state grabbing the GA 53 exit at Calhoun to Rome, then US 27/ GA "1" down to LaGrange, then I- 185 to Columbus, then GA 520/Corridor "z" to Tifton at I-75. That keeps you on good 4 lane all the way to south Georgia along the west side of the state, mostly rural areas, good speeds 55-65, with a few reasonably sized towns along the way. Speeds are pretty good and its a more relaxing drive if Atlanta concerns you.
All that said Atlanta isn't usually too bad on Sundays unless something major is going on downtown or there is planned construction. The web site should clarify whether there are any issues though.
