Thoughts on taking US 78 to Athens from ATL Saturday morning?

---

Depends on what time you leave. I actually live a mile off of 78, so on the rare occasions I don't stn in Athens on Friday, that's the route I take Saturday morning.

Going through lilburn/snellville/loganville will be kinda slow as you may hit some red lights, but if you're super early you'll probably get all greens. After you pass Maxie Price Chevy in loganville it's wide open all the way to Athens (btw, turn right onto 316. Then from there turn onto the loop in Athens. I can be more specific later). There is a little "town" (it's actually more like a few hundred yards) called Between where the speed limit drops about 20 mph. Just watch your speed when you're in little towns.

So I guess to answer your question...if you're leaving fairly late, do like others have suggested and maybe try another way like 85 (Idk, I've never gone that route so can't say for sure). If you get up with the sun and head out early, 78 will be fine, and is definitely the most direct.
