Is Atlanta Traffic That Bad?

[xXOGLEGENDXx]

LA, Atlanta and Houston have to be the worse cities in the country when it comes to traffic.

I have visited both LA and Atlanta multiple times. I almost always have to leave 4 hours in advance just to barely make it to the airports on time.
I lived in Houston for some years. I had a job, that on google maps, was about 12-15 minutes from my apartment. Sometimes I'd leave work at 5pm and would make it home at like 6:45pm.

Atlanta ain’t got nothing on LA. LA has the most soul crushing, brutal traffic I’ve ever experienced.

405 going through West LA into the Valley anytime

110 going through downtown LA anytime

14 going up to Palmdale during rush hour

91 going in and out of the Inland Empire anytime

75 in Henry County is probably the closet you’ll get to true LA gridlock

There's always Marta.

Marta is damn near worthless... we all know that. Plus I saw a nikka jacking his dikk on the train at the Perimeter mall station and said never again.

 

[I love Latina women]

Yeah it’s bad

 

[CodeBlaMeVi]

There's always Marta.

Only useful if you’re in Fulton County. lol

Absolutely horrifc. I've been working from home pre-covid but I used to commute from Zone 3 (close to Mechanicsville) to Peachtree Industrial and that shyt was ungodly. At least 2 hours to get home.

Preach

Folks don’t understand. I used to commute from snellville to morrow right at the border of riverdale, shyt took forever felt like you wasted all your time.

Bad traffic from my primary residence in snellville to Murrow turns a 40 minute drive into 1:30 or worse some days.

But I’ve learned the back roads from snellville through stonecrest to cut it down

If Target is that close why didn't he just walk

There is no hotel directly across from Target, the hotels over there off of Mill Road, might be a 15 minute walk. He's older, its cold and hes fat. I would drive too

In what major city is a 35+ mile commute going to be ideal?

Tell that to the department of defense

Almost had to trade the fair one with a white woman in the Whole Foods parking lot on Roswell road, so yeah

 

[Atlrocafella]

Since I WFH, I don’t really have any traffic issues anymore. Plus I know when and where to go when I’m leaving the house, so it also cuts down on any unnecessary traffic.

Have you ever tried walking in the south? The actual downtowns in southern cities might be easy to walk, but outside of that?



I walk in Florida and its far more annoying than walking the city I came from (NYC). Down here in FL the traffic lights doesn't even automatically change for pedestrians, you gotta tap a sensor on the light pole just to cross the street I rarely ever seen other ppl walking where I live in FL, maybe 1-2 pedestrians per day



I assume the part of ATL he's in has a suburban landscape.

McDonough be not atlanta

It doesn’t matter it’s in the metro so it gets the traffic

 

[Dem313wayz]

Atlanta traffic don't make any sense. I drive from south Atlanta to Alpharetta when I go into the office.

Buy Houston on another level. Took 1hr15min to get to this brunch spot when I was visiting the city.

Another underrated city with traffic is the Hampton Roads area. Lord let it be a car accident on 64 near the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel and you can just forget about your day

SoCal traffic in general. It's going to be hell during the Olympics.
