Montgomery over to 75

[Bowti]

I am thinking of a different route to Florida this year to avoid Atlanta. I am thinking on dropping down to Montgomery from Nashville and then heading over to 75. So I am wondering what is the better route from someone who has gone that way lately, 82 or 231/84 or another suggestion?

The last time I was on 231 headed to Panama City I remember a lot of stop lights but I can't remember if that was above 10 or below it. So if you could verify the stoplights that would also help.

Thanks Bill

Having gone through both many times. Be careful what you wish for, I would gladly drive through Atlanta any day of the week rather than Nashville.....

Just to be clear. I end up taking 231 all the way down to I-10.

I took the 231 route down to I-10 just last October and also in 2016. I liked it. It's most all good 4-lane highway. You do go thru a few towns but I don't remember many stop lights.

There is one little trick I use to avoid some of the Montgomery traffic. Coming down I-65 at Montgomery, I take I-85 east past the 231 south exit and go over to the Hwy 271 exit (south). This connects with 231 after about 5 miles. Still, there are some traffic lights on this stretch.

I forget where I got that tip but I believe it was in this forum.

I very much enjoy taking 231.
