I spent an inordinately large amount of time sitting in traffic over this weekend, because the Georgia Department of Transportation is shit, and at this very moment I am writing this, the worst organization in the history of mankind, over the Nazis, the Ku Klux Klan and ISIS.
For whatever reasons, GDOT decided to perform road construction to every single interstate northbound route in order to get to/pass through Atlanta. Want to get to/pass through, Atlanta via I-85/I-75? Three lanes closed. Want to circumvent Atlanta on I-285? Two lanes closed on the west side of 285, and construction and a lane shift on the east side of 285. The result of trying to take any major route to or through Atlanta is sitting in tragic standstill traffic and the desire to pull your hair out of your head.
Seriously, who the fuck decides to do this much road construction in the middle of the weekend? Sure, there is undoubtedly one worse time to do any sort of road construction, which is during the middle of any weekday work rush hour, but in the middle of the weekend afternoons has to be easily the second worst times to do traffic. And to every single major northbound vein, at the same time? That’s not just lunacy, it’s downright idiotic.
