best time to drive through atlanta on a saturday
10-16-2006, 12:19 PM. Experience of driving through every year at this time since the Runoffs in &#39;82 from every direction except north. The only time the traffic was clear, and I sailed through Atlanta was coming from Montgomery on I85 at 0300.The traffic was light, but I had to speed up to 90 to keep up!If it rains, or if there&#39;s an accident, bring a sandwich, a soda, and a pee jug. You&#39;ll be there for a long, long time.s metro Atlanta continues to sprall is it growing steadily worse. This morning I was called out at 5am&#39; and traffic was already thick on I75. The best time to get through metro Atlanta is between midnight and 5am. Anyother time is a crap shoot.
