  • Drivelapse video of Interstate 285, Atlanta's Perimeter Highway, following it from I-85 to I-675 around much of the Atlanta Metro Area. The video starts at Interstate 985 and follows that southerly to I-85, and terminates at the interchange between I-675 and I-75 south of Atlanta.

    It's great when it's great and horrendous when it's not. Frequently the largest parking lot in Georgia!

    Atlanta freeways are some of the smoothest that I have ever driven on, especially some of their new ones are really nice.
    I also like greenery of Atlanta in general, wish other cities would try their own version of merging the forest and the city

    Wow those exit signs inside the electronic message boards look great. I've seen speed limit signs and highway shields displayed in the electronic signs but never green exit ones. I might be sounding like a sign geek, but the new graphics and different colored text are definitely a step in the right direction. The rumble strips in the double white seem like a pretty good idea as well. It's interesting to see the before and after of construction, so the video being filmed in 2019 makes it even better.

    Public transport lacks so much here, I can tell you that.

Glad you could get this footage while the interstates didn't turn into parking lots! Great job!

      Sadly it should've been like coronavirus traffic regardless of all the years it had rush hour. Like the Top-End Perimeter is home to one of the worst rush hours ever in Atlanta, even the United States including the Downtown Connector which is always a pain in the ass. Like even people who never even visited the city can tell because of how busy it is especially I-285 to where that it were easier to travel around Atlanta back in the day but the popular solution was even worse than a traffic problem thanks one of the most popular problems is that one of the ramps in the Spaghetti Junction which is from I-285 East to I-85 North is so damn congested. I really hope GDOT can fix this in the future because the city is growing quickly than you've ever anticipated.

    Nice of you to show the perimeter, but was misleading, as the video was more than four minutes long before you got to 285, and then you didn’t go all the way around. You pass too many cars to the right, and you also got in the far right lane just as entrance ramp traffic was trying to merge- both moves are reckless.
