Nothing like Hot-lanta traffic, the department of my former company is located in downtown and I'd rather been tortured then go there but thank goodness I don't have to anymore since I retired. Atlanta is like any big city be it Washington DC or Los Angeles that the times to travel through them is off rush hours. Best of all is you can travel through them in late evening.

However, the good thing about the 'Pod is that you just need a place to pull off (any exit that will allow access back on is good) and you have your own facilities with you. I agree that the stretch of 95 does seem rather long with not so many places to even pull off though.

On a Monday evening in January, 2017 around 8:00 p.m. we went through Atlanta. We encountered very low (relatively speaking) traffic. Other times were much worse. We cruised right on through unlike other times when we crawled through.

We have been on the road after dark on a few occasions. One was on our first trip when we were trying to get to our daughter's house in time to see the Christmas program our grandchildren were in. We didn't make it. We pushed long and hard on that trip. We don't do that anymore. However, in winter when the days are short, we have not always gotten to a good stopping place before sundown. In that case, we will go on, but only until we can find a good place to stop for the night.

We try to drive non interstate during the day, but will drive on the interstate at night. We try not to drive secondary roads at night. However, sometimes you just have to keep going. Then you just go slower and have good headlights

I am a morning person, I wake up early and go to sleep early. But when it comes to driving I prefer to drive at night less traffic, glare from sun,and heat. We travel back and forth a lot between south Florida and middle Tennessee almost all interstate driving and prefer to drive through Atlanta between 10 pm and 3 am. I grew up in Miami and dread traffic jams, I like to keep moving. Everyone is different, I think one should drive whatever time that they feel the safest.

We don't mind driving at night but usually try to keep our travel days around 5-6 hours and like stopping at a KOA with a pool and hot tub!

I've never hesitated to drive at night. I figure that's what headlights are for.
