Doug Turnbull and Mark McKay talk Metro Atlanta traffic issues with the rest of the members of WSB Triple Team Traffic, local transportation officials, and YOU the listener.
Smilin' and Doug recap the Newnan tornado damage and how people can help those survivors. They also compare President Biden's recent Atlanta visit to those in the past and relive the I-85 bridge collapse four years ago and what drivers can learn now. They also talk to Jimmy Deloach Jr. about the loss of his daughter in a distracted driving crash and cover the many different ways and consequences of driving distracted.
State Road and Tollway Authority Executive Director Chris Tomlinson joins Turnbull and McKay again to give a "State of the Express Lanes" address of sorts. They discuss how COVID impacted lane-use, the transition to the new Peach Pass app, the purposes of the lanes for local, freight, and out-of-state travelers. They also compare the I-85 lane system to the those on I-75 and talk about where people should expect to find these lanes in the future. Tomlinson also discusses mass transit in Georgia and the ATL transit organization's goals.
Turnbull and McKay are joined by WSB Triple Team Traffic's Ashley Frasca and Alex Williams as they analyze shootings, the five dead on I-285 Monday morning, chases, and pedestrians hit that shut down roads in the last week. They also discuss the fatal shooting investigation on I-85 that morning and what major traffic event it was akin to. On a lighter note, they wrap up by discussing Frasca's, Mike Shields', and Zach Grizzle's first cars.
Meet your WSB Traffic Team! Doug Turnbull, David Hubbard, Mike Shields, Jackie Lee, Vanessa Croft, Aaron, Zach Grizzle, Alex Williams, Floyd Hillman, Mike Boozer, Veronica Harrell, Steve Winslow, Ashley Frasca, Mark Arum, and Smilin’ Mark McKay.
