My favorite stretch of freeway in the country! I've always loved this drive coming into the city. Great photo in the intro, too! Love the contrast between the old and new versions of 85. Adding this to my favorites for sure.

This video is going straight to the favorites list, simply for it being one of my top 3 or 4 favorite urban freeways in the country. Curves, hills, lots of lanes and lots of traffic. Out of all the freeways in Atlanta, I'd say this one feels most reminiscent of what you'd find throughout much of Orange County (CA). In fact, I'd like to compare it to I-5 in South/Central Orange County, especially because both freeways feature collector/distributor lanes.

@aswchris Yes, it's less than 10 miles, there are plans to widen it to 6 lanes all the way to the SC border, many of the overpasses have already been replaced along the way.

I love your vids F.J. I live in Atlanta. I think I-285 should be a collecter/distributer system all the way around it. We need to catch up with Texas. What are your views on that?

A pleasure to see something from the Atlanta freeways again! I'm surprised how fast 85 drops from 20 to 4 lanes. Only a couple of miles.

@skgw2010 Thank you, I would agree with that and I think GDOT is thinking that way too based on the reconstruction of the Memorial Drive interchange on the east side and the Airport Runway Tunnel, both are C/D lane ready.

were you going to Mall of GA? My house is not far from it. Although the closest exit to I-85 is exit 111. I am in LA now but boy do I miss GA a lot. A lot less traffic. Freeways in GA is a lot better than in LA.

@the905sDW Not usually because the variables of the footage tend to dictate what I use, sometimes it can taker over an hour of testing to find the right song (This one thankfully was the first attempt), It's something I do on "feel". HOWEVER, if you want to send me a list of a few tunes that you think might work I'll check them out, no promises on if and when I'd use them but I might like them just the same.
