The second completed ramp revamp in the Transform I-285/GA-400 project is set to open in time for Thanksgiving.

Just the threat of any kind of rain in drive time is enough reason for alarm in Atlanta, but Zeta brought heavy rain and high winds last week. WSB's 'Gridlock Guy' Doug Turnbull looks back at how our traffic team covered Zeta's impact on the roads.

Recent GDOT numbers have surprisingly shown that traffic fatalities in Georgia are slightly higher in 2020, compared to the same time in 2019. This bucks at a recent annual trend of decreasing highway fatalities, partially due to 2018’s Hands-Free Georgia anti-distracted driving law and the continuing evolution of vehicle safety.

There have been many changes in the three-year Transform I-285/GA-400 project. Most of these have involved lane closures, lane shifts, ramp changes, and narrowed shoulders.

GDOT crews are very familiar with potholes. Every so often they have to pace traffic to fill a hole that the constant grind of Atlanta traffic has opened.

Atlanta traffic is on quite the kick these days. There have been several gnarly wrecks, such as the recent 18-vehicle melee on I-285 that we covered last week.

Friday, September 4th. PM drive. Good ol' retro gridlock returned to Atlanta’s freeways, driven by the pre-Labor Day mass exodus.

The grinding Atlanta commute is nearly as out-of-fashion as cargo pants these days, given the pandemic-driven habits many have assumed.

The back-to-school season is usually well defined. In a period of two or three weeks, most Metro Atlanta students rouse from the summer slumber and enter the early morning routine. Schools ring in mixtures of minivans, buses, bicycles, and pedestrians in a common ingress and egress like clockwork.

Summer storms are no surprise occurrence these days, and they undoubtedly dampen and slow the commute. But one such storm did more damage to the ride in Cobb County last Tuesday than it should have.

President Donald Trump’s most recent visit to Atlanta last Wednesday brought news that would help ease gridlock.
