<br>
I'm from Orlando Florida, and all I know about Atlanta traffic is that<br>
the traffic on I75 is usually horrible from mile marker 185 near<br>
Forsythe up past downtown Atlanta up to about mile marker 285. I once<br>
averaged 10mph on I75, north of downtown Atlanta, for two straight<br>
hours, on a Saturday night at 10:30pm. I also know that once, trying to<br>
avoid that kind of traffic, I took the I285 loop to bypass mile markers<br>
238 thru 259, and that was horrible too.<br>
<br>
I have relatives who need to drive from Orlando to Los Angeles in early<br>
September. They want to take the north route (I40) instead of the south<br>
route (I10) due to the extreme heat in September. To the extent<br>
possible, they want to stick to the Interstate freeway system.<br>
<br>
If traffic were not an issue, I75 to I20 to I22 to I40 would be<br>
perfect. So I have some questions about traffic:<br>
<br>
Is the traffic on I20 west of downtown as bad as I75 traffic? How far<br>
west of downtown is it below 40mph?<br>
<br>
Would I75 to I285 to I20 be better than I75 directly to I20, or is I285<br>
still so full of construction that it's slower than I75?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
