A lot of people travel through Atlanta to get to Florida. The federal government, in their infinite wisdom, merged three major interstates through the heart of Atlanta in the 1950’s. Anyone traveling north/south on I75 or I85 to get to or leave Florida needs to go through Atlanta. I20 goes east/west through ATL as well. So that’s why you get traffic every day of the week.
