Yes, truck traffic in downtown Atlanta has increased in recent years

An 11Alive viewer swears she is seeing more big rigs than ever in downtown Atlanta, so we took a look.

The only reason they drive through interstate 75 in town, instead of I285 loop is because I285 is always a parking lot and it can take nearly 2 hours sometimes just to get north or south of Atlanta. Has nothing to do with more trucks on the road because there's not.

Unless cops pull trucks over and check if they're delivering in the city, there's not much that can be done.

Atlanta needs way more expressways period.

Maybe you should be in the CORRECT EXIT LANE EARLIER.. 😮👍

These trucks make it very hard to maneuver traffic on the Connector. Too much traffic and they often cause you to miss your exit. They know they’re breaking the law, but they do it anyway. Where did these folks get the notion that we are not a nation of laws? I wonder…
