Pro tip: I watched the traffic on I-285 change after they finished the new lane
I drive the top end of the Perimeter every day for work. For the last three years, my morning trip from Sandy Springs to Dunwoody took a solid 45 minutes. They finished adding that extra lane near the 400 interchange about two months ago. My commute dropped to 25 minutes almost right away. It seems like the extra space stopped that daily bottleneck where everyone merges. Has anyone else on the north side noticed a real difference, or did the traffic just move somewhere else?

My buddy swears his drive got faster for a week, then he said it was like they just built a bigger parking lot.

You said your commute dropped to 25 minutes almost right away. I have to say, that's lucky. I'm glad for you, but I drive that same stretch and I haven't seen that kind of change. It felt better for maybe two weeks. Now it feels like all the extra lane did was pull more cars onto the road earlier. My time is back to what it was before they even started the work. Maybe the real fix was just repaving and new lines, not the lane itself.
