Driving near Atlanta
 

We'll be flying into Hartsfield and need to get to Rt 20 to Alabama. Have been told to take 85N to 20W. I'm wondering if it may be better to take Camp Creek Parkway to 285N to 20W, or even Camp Creek Parkway all the way to 20W.

Any construction or major delays on any of those routes? Arriving about 10 am on Wednesday.

Six of one, half dozen of another.

The timing should be good with your arrival flight.

Your rental company location may impact the decision, but really it's just a couple of miles and I've never had problems with traffic on either option.

You should take 285N to 20W. Odds of encountering a traffic disaster in town are always greater than on the perimeter.

Either one will work, but ask your rental car company for the radio station that gives traffic information...there are more accidents to cause delays on Camp Creek Pkwy than on I-85, but you'll only be on it for about one mile.

And, you would want to take I-85 South...you'll only be on it for a mile or so, and then get on I-285 going north to I-20 west. I-85 North takes you directly through downtown Atlanta and tons of traffic issues.

You can get Georgia Navigator traffic information by dialing 511 on your cell phone - but it's more confusing now that the service is automated. You used to get to talk to a human being when it was *DOT on the cell phone.

We decided to take Camp Creek Parkway all the way to 20, and it was fine on Wednesday. Of course, it was even better early on Sunday morning when we returned.

Thanks for your input.
