IN OTHER NEWS – A new study ranks Atlanta, Georgia in the top five cities with the worst highways in America for Thanksgiving travel.

Release:

Thanksgiving is the busiest U.S. travel holiday, with 81% more Americans traveling than at Christmas or Hanukkah. With that in mind, my client analyzed U.S. cities with the most congested highways during holidays, using data on annual average daily traffic, average speed, yearly crashes, and social media complaints.  

Here’s some Georgia highlights:  

• I-75, Atlanta, GA is named the #3 worst highway for Thanksgiving travel, scoring 45.7/100 
• Annual average daily traffic on this highway is the second highest at 419,516
• The average speed travelled is one of the lowest, at 37.3 (miles/hour)
