Oh boy, twenty whole minutes!

Game-changer: Atlanta Braves change start time for weeknight games at Great White Flight Park from 7:10 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. intending to help alleviate traffic

This is hilarious.  The Braves actually think twenty whole minutes is going to make a modicum of difference when it comes to traffic in and surrounding the I-75/I-285 intersection.  The top end of I-285 is already the worst traffic in the city on a regular basis, and maybe starting the game at 8:30 would be when traffic actually might die down, but there’s no guarantee then either.

There was this one time I was working in Sandy Springs.  I dawdled into later hours on a regular basis, so that I could milk extra hours, and I was interested in a girl that worked there.  But I would leave the office routinely around 7:00-7:30, because I already knew how bad the traffic was around 5-6 p.m. after work, and I figured it wouldn’t be as bad then.

Combining the asinine metered on-ramps and the fact that I-285 is I-285, it would take me over 20 minutes just to get on the highway, much less crawl the six miles from entering the highway to get to where ScumTrust Park is going to exist.
