Welcome to the official Georgia Department of Transportation (Georgia DOT) RU-vid site. Check with us for updates on how we are working to maintain and improve our state's transportation network.
This is horrifying. Spending enough money to fully build out a legitimate public transit system, but instead we get a highway on top of a highway, exclusively for paid use, with profits funneled off to private investment funds. If this wasn’t GDOT, I would presume this to be an Orwellian joke…
Why aren't there equivalent southbound access into 75/400/85? All options seem to only point North. A person traveling across can't exit southbound? What kind of sense does that make? 75N - no problem; 400 North and 85 North - no problem. No SB transitions?
Okay express lines for collecting more money.. what about that so broken 285? my windshield and tires were broken 3 times already from past year. who will pay me on the repair cost?
Right! It looks like it's gonna be even more noodles in Spaghetti Junction. But honestly, every major exchange on 285 is gonna look like that. 75/285 already does and so does 400/285. Spaghetti Junction isnt so specual as it was years ago.
I'd rather see these lanes be dedicated to HOV/BRT, it's a shame to see more freeway construction instead of investing this money into something that serves everyone for transit.
With all due respect, your concern is exactly why this is being constructed. The express lanes, along with the direct express-to-street exits, are intended to allow for better transit connectivity. Buses can use the express lanes for free, rather than sit in traffic.
@@elevatorsof14s totally get that! i think the concern is that non-exclusive express lanes could still end up with congestion just as bad as the normal lanes
Stop building subdivisions and creating t-intersections everywhere... GA should have built the outer perimeter long time ago.... now we have to deal with this cash cow express lanes.
@@campbellsadeghy213 if no one has said one more lane will fix traffic, then why do we widen roads? Also i love my car, the speed and convenience are great, but as someone who lives in a city, it simply isnt effective at moving thousands people. Im pro car, I'm anto car dependency and government waste. We have fantastic roadways, but they are at capacity, road expansion is proven not to reduce traffic and increase cities maintenance cost. Do you think two viaduct express lanes are worth 12 billion dollars? That could go to repaving streets, fixing sidewalks, building housing, building bikepaths, building transit. Does that make me anti car or pro modal freedom. Lets not fight but understand others opinions, thats how we get the full story. Id love to hear your opinion on the matter.
