ATL is worse.

You'll never sit in traffic in ATL for two hours.

It depends on the drive, but I thought LA was much worse. Atlanta traffic is slow but usually moving, LA was just gridlock for me.

LA is much worse. ATL is a piece of cake. Then again I never lived OTP, so maybe I don’t know the struggle going that far.

LA traffic is no joke but you get used to it. Trick is to love close to where you work or by public transit.

Depends on which freeway you have to take but there are plenty of side streets so honestly not that bad

It’s never good. But it also depends on where you live and which direction you’re traveling in

@AD1 -- I have once. GA400 in the snow.

Eh, I do. On a weekly basis.

I’ve only contracted in LA but it’s more that there’s more traffic in a city that’s not a proper city, it’s a fucken sprawl. Compared to NYC or SF where they built vertically, LA is just this weird huge mess of buildings that keeps expanding outward.
