FAQ: Prowadzenie pojazdu w Atlanta
Do I need a car in Atlanta?
Yes. While MARTA rail serves the airport, downtown, Midtown, and Buckhead, most of metro Atlanta's attractions and neighborhoods require a car. The metro area spans 28+ counties and is very spread out.
Why are there so many streets named Peachtree?
Atlanta has over 70 streets with 'Peachtree' in the name: Peachtree Street, Peachtree Road, West Peachtree, Peachtree Battle, Peachtree Industrial, and more. Always use the full street name in GPS and double-check addresses.
What is the Connector?
The Connector is the section where I-75 and I-85 merge into one highway through downtown Atlanta. It carries over 300,000 vehicles daily and is one of the most congested stretches of highway in the US. Rush hours (7-9:30 AM, 4-7 PM) are brutal.
How does Atlanta handle ice and snow?
Poorly. Even a light ice event can gridlock the entire metro area (as in the infamous 'Snowpocalypse' of 2014). The city has limited plows and salt trucks. Drivers have little experience with icy conditions. Stay off the roads during winter weather events.
