yes atlanta traffic is verry bad, i livew on the outskirts of atlanta right off 85 and it can be murder. thats why i love it that i live 7.1 miles from work and my wifes work is only 4.2 miles from the house. i never drive in that traffic, if i see if from the ramp i turn around and go home. or take short cuts....but yes atlanta is verrrrrry bad, and belive it or not alaska (anchorage) has pretty bad traffic as well.
