@cochrab Thanks!

Nice video. I really love Atlanta freeway system it looks very fun to drive on.

Atlanta and Fort Worth are very similar as far as freeway structures go; but Fort Worth seems a bit more streamlined. Either way, it is a challenge to drive through these cities; and it takes a skilled driver to master them.

nice video. i like that it goes fast because it looks like racing. ;)

Cool, thanks for the tour in the security of my computer chair to confirm this spaghetti configuration. An outsider driving this on a rainy night, not knowing their way through the "main" (new) ramp from 75 S to 285 - you'd think East splits left and West splits right...nope! And by the time they tell you, it's too late. Thankfully no panicking, just some long backtracking.

Pretty nice music. I'll have to check other driving videos, again very cool. :-)

whats with the arrows at 1:53?

[Freewayjim]

That is a pretty sharp turn that people tend to take too fast or change lanes from at the last minute. Nothing more than a well intentioned saftey measure.

I drive through this interchange during rush hour. It can make baby Jesus cry...

[prfsnlwannabe]

Yeeash, yeah I'd agree with you there on that! Luckily when I've traveled to Atlanta, I've seemed to have luck not hitting this interchange at the absolute worst times, though the traffic through the Cobb Cloverleaf is still bad.

Thanks for the tour.

The Cobb Cloverleaf, I love it. Roads in general, I love them.

[prfsnlwannabe]

Very nice! I should've suspected that the Cobb Cloverleaf had all these hidden exit/entrance ramps I wasn't aware of, a la the Spaghetti Junction... :)

[Freewayjim]

It is a rather unique interchange and there are plans for more flyover ramps (I-75N to I-285W).

[prfsnlwannabe]

I see what you mean about I-75N to I-285W. I rewatched the video today, and I'm surprised that GDOT(I guess that's what Georgia calls their department of transportation for short, correct me if I'm wrong) didn't build one for that direction.

[Freewayjim]

GDOT (Correct) smartly installed the stubs you saw in the video when the Kennedy Interchange was built (late 90's, early 2000's).

Another great marriage of music and roads.

Great job as always, Jim!!! :)

[eluko79]

Cool to see you got the quality option. I like the music too.

I had the feeling I was on those interstates. Have you ever heard of Dead Man's Curve in Cleveland, Ohio? I have survived that millions of times.

Nicely done! Another great video.
