Watching your videos in HD really does bring everything to life. Watching them on my 32 LCD HDTV makes it seem like I'm actually behind the wheel. The spaghetti junction must have been an engineering marvel for its time (over 20 years ago), and it's still a very impressive interchange to drive under, despite some of the newer mega interchanges that have sprouting up around the country, since the Spaghetti Interchange opened (mainly in Texas and Southern California).

[@michaelmerck7576]

Great ride,the left lane thing seems to be exclusive to atlanta

[@Freewayjim]

Thanks, no, it's everywhere, lol.

[@Freewayjim]

I basically learned how to drive in the Spaghetti Junction construction, it was a mess for a good 4-5 years around there. It was the first of it's kind in the Atlanta area and IMO is one of the most impressive interchanges in the Eastern Time Zone, Top 5 easily.

[@GarryLavin]

This channel is brilliant - and i live in Britain - reminds me of my several road trips across US - especially when i worked in RI/MASS --and great music.....

[@Freewayjim]

Thanks, yes they really are, sometimes I take for granted how good the roads are here.

[@Freewayjim]

Thanks! That interchange has no nickname that I'm aware of. The Ramp from I-285 South to I-285 east is the coolest ramp in the area, a sweeping 3-lane flyover.

[@Freewayjim]

Thank You, That's the HOV (High Occupancy Vehicle) lane, you must have 2+ people in the car or be in a bus or motorcycle to use them.

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you, Yes, I live in the Atlanta area

[@TheSolarcatcher]

I don't know how I keep missing some of these earlier vids of yours, but great ride! Atlanta's inner expressways on a good day are something!

[@misuterec]

Keep on dreamin (that's for me...). I'm from Eastern Europe, so... Very good image and sound! (I've just discovered today Jim's videos and I'm impressed (I like very much to drive and to travel)

[@angelmalarkey7946]

I love that song

[@SlowedByCinnamxn]

Awesome! At that Time, you said that your Intro or Opening was under Construction. Very Creative and Interesting.

[@daydream12012]

wow I was 10 when I first watched this video now I’ll be 22 in 15 more days 😊

[@Freewayjim]

Cool and thanks for watching!

[@Freewayjim]

Thanks! People I know either go to Panama City, FL (Gulf Coast) or along the Atlantic Coast from Daytona Beach, FL North to Myrtle Beach, SC

[@Freewayjim]

@MadeinBaghdad Thanks, I enjoy driving through the Texas cities and Atlanta the most, wide roads and most have been updated recently, easy driving at its best.

[@Freewayjim]

Thanks, glad you enjoy it.

[@Jim856796]

Atlanta's Downtown Connector can be a really challenging expressway at times, whether it is congested, when a person is ripping on left-lane hogs, even at night.

[@angelmalarkey7946]

Nice song Freewayjim

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you Pauline!

[@neverreallyover2937]

Definition of Left Lane Hogs: people who go too DAMN slow on a left lane.

[@Timeister]

Awsome video! its so intersting! At 4:54 whats that lane on the left with the 2 white lines?

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you for the compliments, they are much appreciated.

It's nice to experience the Downtown Connector in HD! :)

Love me so Maysa,where did you find this one ,I like it

[@Freewayjim]

Thanks, I had it in my library, I like that kind of music too.

Been there, it is a pretty neat interchange.

[@xLuiKangx007]

Best song ever

[@tmap92]

Great vids, man. One question. I have noticed that you have a lot of videos about Atlanta. You have some really awesome roads down there......are you from Atlanta, by chance? Just wondering.....I'm from VA.

[@1xoirc]

@Freewayjim Very nice.I miss living in Atlanta.The only thing I don't miss is the cold weather!:)

[@larkthomas3371]

awwww...I wish you would have stayed on 85.. I love the view of the 5 high rises, that's visible in the background after the Virginia Avenue exit...lol

[@theredknight1]

You should come to Columbus,Ohio someday!

[@tmap92]

Cool, I do call the Hampton Roads area home, and I do love the variety of bridges and tunnels here (can't stand the traffic though,), but I know that there areprobably literally hundreds of people that would kill to have the HRBT expanded to what the Downtown connector in ATL can handle...That is what I call a freeway!!!!!

[@Freewayjim]

@MadeinBaghdad Thanks, I use a Sony HCR-HD9 that shoots to MiniDV tape.

[@Freewayjim]

It's the next best thing to being there :)

[@Freewayjim]

Been there once in 2005, hope to film it someday.

[@Jim856796]

@Freewayjim Well, the left-lane hogs are in your videos, sir. The Downtown Connector was built in 1951 and expanded in the mid-80s and has remained one of the world's busiest roads to this day.

[@Bbgunn325]

LOL. That blue BMW hauled ass on you. How fast were you moving then?

[@ashvegas1018]

NIce video.........:)

[@LOLMAN9538]

I heard this exact song on your NOLA video.

[@Freewayjim]

Yeah, I've re-used songs before.

[@LOLMAN9538]

That explains it, then. Lol

[@Freewayjim]

Sure, they are quite common in the southeast.

[@Freewayjim]

Yeah, look at the populations of those cities too.

[@Freewayjim]

@drunkinpainter666 The northern suburbs, safe, nice & pricey!

[@sunshinegirl1967]

Left lane hogs, lol. I call the CLLD's - Chronic Left Lane Drivers. They aren't going anywhere and have all day to get there. Another thing I call them is SASC's - Self Appointed Speed Controllers, because you know they do!

[@tylergrouplud8636]

Wow, highways in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York City highways are way busier

[@Freewayjim]

Are you kidding me? this was filmed in HD with a REAL camera.

[@Freewayjim]

I know it's going to happen but I never get used to it :(

[@Freewayjim]

@Jim856796 Yeah, I know all that, wasn't sure what your point was. Left-lane hogs are a hazard, plain & simple, I've seen them on all types of roads, the worst are the ones on the phone!.

[@yousef9002]

i am the first one who see this clip looooooooool

[@Freewayjim]

Are you a "Train/Railroad Guy" ?

[@kalielwebb3774]

Those drivers in Atlanta are pretty aggressive. You think u can compare the aggressiveness to the DC area?

[@MicroDudeNor]

If you were a cop i'd guess u would'a given alot of tickets !

for real, in New York, the Northern state parkway is 2 lanes in some parts, and people clog BOTH of the 2 lanes.... it makes me wanna kick infants. usually i grill people like that. i guess you would be used to it jim
