We’ll be driving from SE Wisconsin. Is it better to try to get through Atlanta on that Saturday night (8pm ish)? or stop just north of Atlanta and head through Sunday morning (8:30am ish) ?
Anyone know much about Atlanta traffic patterns?
Better on Sunday morning. 75/85/20 all converge so it can be a pain around the connector. Sunday morning will be relatively empty on 75 or 85 in the morning.

I haven’t driven through Atlanta in awhile but have done so dozens of times in the past. Sunday am should be good. Saturday night might be hit or miss… hard to say w/ covid impact. But most metro area interstates are gravy on Sunday mornings.

Thanks!!
I wanted to stop north of ATL anyway.
We generally stop around Dalton or Calhoun when coming from Michigan recently. We used to stop at Chattanooga, but like to go a bit further that first day now.

For real tho - I would do it Sunday morning vs. Saturday night if you could. I’ve had many a Saturday night stuck in Atlanta traffic coming back home. It’s always a gamble.

DDs are stuck in Atlanta now 4/3 5:30 EST. There’s digital signs warning of “Spring break delays”

Wow that’s crazy. I’m planning to hit Atlanta on a Saturday morning when we drive down in June
This is craziness. I have never lived anywhere with traffic on Saturday unless there is a ball game or something. Sometimes there is traffic going in and out of Phoenix at the beginning or end of long weekends, but Saturday is usually clear.
