    A Fantastic way to start off Season 19.
    I'm surprised it was that cheap for you to use the Express Lanes. I'm guessing you drove it during a part of the day when the roads weren't too busy? Because I wouldn't be surprised if they charge more to use it during the Rush Hour Periods.
    As for the Term "Tollercoaster", it makes sense, but you have to remember that I-75 is sort jammed into that Area of Marietta, so It shouldn't really come as a surprise to how all over the place the Express Lanes are.
    Keep up the great work! Looking forward to more content!

    Great ride, especially in the rain. But the exclusive exits are a great incentive to use it. Pretty clever of GDOT.

      Thank you and I agree! and those exits made sense, busy roads with no direct access to i-75.

    Hi Mr. Jim! Just to start off I love your videos to death! I've always been fascinated on how roads work and now I can see everything across the USA from the comfort of my living room. I have a request and it's ok if you don't like it but I was wondering if you could do a Kansas City video. They have plenty of major interchanges and two stadiums! Thanks so much for taking time out of your day to read this! God bless.

    Wow... even crappy weather can't stop Jim from making a top notch quality vid. Nicely done, Jim!
    Btw, how expensive do all these new express lanes in Atlanta get during rush hour when compared to other places? Heard D.C's on demand toll prices are nothing short of bat ish insanity... hopefully it ain't that expensive...

      @@Freewayjim 🌷 ok that makes sense 👍 I'm curious about driving conditions on it during rush. When it gets down to a one - laner in certain places, ppl will def need to be careful. I'm thinking a significant amount of drivers will choose it more and more for events they are traveling to and so forth. Time will tell. (and of course those just passing thru also).

    Did this feel kind of like a small rollercoaster? There is a road called Rollercoaster in Tucson AZ, and has hard deeps, ups and curves it also it is near residential areas so, the people there wake up for sure before going to work in the morning:). Fun road!!!

    The interchange of I-285 and I-85 (NE of downtown) is nicknamed Spaghetti Junction. Is it time to give the Cobb Cloverleaf, the interchange of I-285 and I-75 (NW of downtown), recently expanded with the Toll Express Lanes, the nickname Linguine Junction?
