Tickets on GA 400. Imagine that!

If the powers that be think people aren't going to use the emergency lanes outside of the posted hours, they've got another thing coming. People can't go back. You give 'em a lane, they are going to abuse it! I still can't believe anybody thought this was a good idea when the problem is the bottleneck at 285.

What an unbelievably horrible idea.

A good idea would be express bus services in dedicated lanes with park and ride lots out in the burbs and connections to both MARTA and private city & shuttle bus services in metro Atlanta.
