Now I know why Atlanta has the dumbest traffic in teh country

Okay, I've been to Chicago, New York, and D.C., whenever they've been in traffic, normally I find a good reason (construction, accident, etc.). However today proves that Atlanta has the dumbest traffic ever.
First off, on my way to college on GA 400 (main highway to Atlanta from North), I got stuck in FOUR traffic jams of about 20 min. each...all had NO CAUSE. People just decided to drive faster 0_0;;
AFTER school, and trying to get back on highway, the road was completely backed up. It took me 30 minutes to go half a mile (if I left the road I'd have to go a REALLY long way out of the way to go to the highway), the cause was "construction". I put that in parenthesis because there were two trucks sitting in the middle of the road with arrows forcing everyone to move, and there was just one schmuck sitting there. That's it. No construction actually hapening. Nothing was going on. THe deusch just felt like sitting there.
I MEAN SERIOUSLY. IF YOURE NOT DOING ANYTHING GET IT OFF THE DAMN ROAD!
Today was just particularly irritating X_X;;

Well, what do you expect from there?

Yeah, welcome to Atlanta.
Traffic here sucks because of idiot drivers too.

I hate traffic. I don't have the patience to put up with it, and I'm not even driving yet. :P

at least you don't get enormous (half the size of a car) potholes, speedtraps, and reroutes without notice.

Speedtraps are....

That's why I try to avoid highways when I go places. Plus it's nice to drive with your windows down instead of using your AC.

That reduces gas mileage by so much.

No it doesn't. Not if you're under 45.
