Im down in Auburn Al for college and will be taking a trip to Greenville, SC. I will be leaving directly after school on a Friday and that will put me in Atlanta at the peak of rush hour traffic. Ill be taking I-85 the whole way. Is there an easy way around the city? Yes I-285 is a bypass but that will be packed as well I am sure. Leaving earlier / later is not an available option. I welcome any help locals can offer

You are going to have to leave early to beat the traffic, especially on I-85.
For some reason, them people on that side of town can't seem to drive!

Leave early or just enjoy the slow ride.

Skip your last class and leave a little early or you just gonna be going slow.

im already skipping one class. If I skip the one previous to that, I should be able to beat it. Thanks for the replies

Don't take 285, you'll sit longer there than just going through the city.

Really? I take it everyone has the idea that the bypass will be faster therefore it is clogged?

Drive ANY OTHER WAY POSSIBLE.

Take a small detour and go around Atlanta if you can. If you HAVE to go through there watch out for cops. I lost track of all the cars we saw pulled over around Atlanta on our way back from NC.

Its a toss up on 285 and 75/85 through town but if you take 285 and stay left at I-20 mess it might be better to I-85. I-85 is gonna suck till you get past about Hamilton Mill exit. Then you are home free. btw. Turn your radio on am 750 WSB for traffic updates.
