It's still nothing like it used to be. I got on I-85 North during 4pm rush hour and it didnt back up at all. McGinnis Ferry, Holcomb Bridge, Pleasant Hill/Old Milton were mostly empty during rush hour and moving without having to stop at any light during the day.

The air seems cleaner too..

Good.

I've seen a few wrecks on the map. Wonder if some people are still taking advantage of what they perceive as extra freedom on the roads.

I saw a few cops on I-85 under the I-285 overpass for Spaghetti Junction. They seemed to be waiting for that. For the most part traffic seemed mannered infact I've seen quite a few people just driving mindlessly and holding up the passing lane. Guess noone is in a rush to run home and quarantine.

No doubt traffic is still light. But the weekend traffic, I've definitely noticed a pickup, perhaps by 50% vs. the lowpoint? Just a guess obviously.

75 coming down from Marietta has 3+ speed traps every time now, when it never did pre-COVID. Which is fine by me with all the crazies going 90+

Good. Speed limits don't change just because traffic is lighter. I know some people would like some rural areas to let off some speed, but Cobb County is NOT rural.

See where Georgia posted the lowest number of new cases in over a month today? Kemp made the right decision.

When I attended KSU, Marietta was always out in force on I-75 so I"m surprised, they cut back on it.

I believe there were lawsuits of which forced them to cut back some. Or atleast that is what I heard.

Times/Crimes like these I'm embarrassed to say I'm from the South, or live in Georgia.
