Have the crazies hit the highways where you live?
I live northeast of Atlanta, not far from I-85, which is the main from superhighway from Atlanta (and points south and west) up to Charlotte and the mid-Atlantic states.
This week is, of course, a huge week for travel. Usually I-85 is pretty busy with trucks. Last night I saw somewhat fewer trucks, but a larger than average number of cars with plates from Texas, Mississippi, Florida, – people heading north. It’ll stay this way until Wednesday night.
And when I stopped at the BP station to get gas, all but one other car was out-of-state.
Has the Thanksgiving highway migration started where you are?

Fellow Atlantan here:
Leaving in about an hour for Sarasota, FL.
I’m looking forward to that bottleneck where 675 meets 75.
Then, where lane discipline goes out the window at the Florida state line.
The road I take to work is mainly a commuter highway but I’ll keep my eyes open for out of staters and tell you later. I live in southern NY and I know on Thanksgiving and the days after, I’ll see all kinds of out of state vehicles, especially on Thanksgiving and Friday, going to Manhattan.
Manhattan is CRAZY Thanksgiving weekend. Tourists from all over, you can’t even walk on the sidewalks sometimes. Now that Trump is there the traffic around 5th Avenue is going to be more fucked up than ever.
I live in Florida.
Hahahahahahahaha….
We breed the crazies here.
Well, I have noticed a reduction in traffic here where I live in Texas. We are a college town however and many take off and go elsewhere for the holiday. They may be some of the ones clogging the Georgian roads.
No; small town Texas has wonderful freeways but out here the traffic is minimal. In fact, I bet I won’t have to wait in line at the grocery store. We just don’t have the population.
I am in L.A. Crazy drivers are year around here.
I am in Colorado, and we have plenty of crazy people on the roads. Especially when the meteorologists say that it is going to snow.
In South Carolina they don’t give you a license unless you can’t drive,and don’t know what rain is. Just another week here.
I saw two Massachusetts plates yesterday, both side by side on a three lane highway. In the left lane and middle lane they were going about 80. In the right lane was a sanitation truck. 80 might be considered way too fast in some places but here they were clogging up the highway by fucking up two lanes next to each other.
Like I said, the main issues will be Thursday and Friday. Luckily I’m off Friday so that won’t be an issue.
