For those of you driving through Atlanta:
I met a guy yesterday who lives in Macon and works in NW Atlanta. He drives it every day and says that troopers are usually very active in Henry County (I-75 south of Atlanta) and Twiggs County (I-16 east of Macon). They also like to catch you as you enter the Atlanta area where the speed limit drops down from 70mph.
Atlanta rush "hour" is from about 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Local radio stations start broadcasting traffic reports at 3:00 PM.
Semi's are required to take the I-285 loop around the city, so it is best if you stay on I-75 and go straight through downtown. The stretch where I-75 and I-85 run together is called the "connector" by the traffic reporters. It is usually jammed up all day long.

I'm hoping to be through Atlanta around lunch time.

Helpful info, thanks!

For those coming down I-85 you can take I-285 to I-675 to I-75 to bypass downtown altogether.

For those coming down I-75, depending on time of day, you can either take I-285 all the way around or try and go straight through downtown.

I just drove from Atlanta to Valdosta this past weekend and saw very little police activity.

Most of it was around Macon and the I-475 bypass.

There is significant construction on the highway south of Tifton, GA as well.

Thanks for the heads up! Radar detectors can't detect when cops aren't using their guns...
