Commuting from Lawrenceville, Suwanee or Duluth to 30319 ATL area?

Is this a horrible morning and evening drive??

Specifically, right around Peachtree Golf Club

Commuting anywhere in Atlanta is horrible. This would not be the worst of all possible drives but none are easy.

i wouldnt say its too bad, 85 is pretty big, so traffic flows pretty freely, unlike 400 which gets backed up. but if you want, mapquest where you need to go, using highways and then do one using backroad and expirement on which works better, the back roads or highways

Awful. And getting home in the evening is even worse. 85 and 316 area is always a jam packed, sluggish ride.

If you live in L'ville/Suwanee area, I-85 will be your best bet. There will be a ton of traffic every day. There really is no way around it. Doubtful that Marta would help since you'd only be an exit or 2 away.

At least the I-85 / 316 intersection is being worked on, so that may help alleviate the drive a tad. Also, I-85 has HOV lanes which could potentially help out.

Backroads aren't really an option, since they are just as congested as the highway. Always listen to the radio in the morning to see if I-85 has more then 3 lanes blocked. If so, take backroads.

Check www.georgia-navigator.com too for good traffic maps.

Yes.
There are several back ways to go that will parallel I-85, but they will take just as long (but at least you'll be moving more than sitting still).

are you kidding? yes it is for the most part.. and if anyone has a flat tire.. you can forget it
