Try living in Los Angeles.? The signs all indicate Cities.? On Coast states,
direction means next to nothing.? There is the Santa Monica Freeway, San Diego,
Ventura and Antelope Valley freeways.? For an out of town person who has no
clue where these Cities are located, it can be very confusing.? Not to mention
the pronunciation of the street names.? You ask a local?where? "Sep-ol-veeda"
(Sepulveda)?is located, they just laugh.? And, the San Diego Freeway doesn't
even go to San Diego.? It ends about 20 miles before you even get to San Diego
County.? The Ventura freeway?is really fun.? You can take it north, south, east
or west,?depending on where you actually want to go.? Ventura is NW of L.A.?
But,?the freeway?still goes east from?the north point until it turns into
another freeway.? Unless one knows where Ventura is,?it is very confusing.? I
swear these map planners all got together during a drunken poker game?to plan
the routes.? Then, they added the sign guys to their poss
e.? I think it is all just a conspiracy to mess with us, no matter where you
live. LOL!??

I about believe this! We were in the HOV lane going North toward TN
and wound up on I-85 toward Greenville, SC. It took forever to get
turned around and back going the other way. I learned that the HOV
lane going into I-75 takes a left exit just when you least expect it.
My pet peeve though is the HOV lane that is HOV all 24/7. So in the
middle of the day, you have one empty lane and all the others are
clogged. Even other major cities open that lane up in the off rush
hours to all traffic. Not Atlanta! And invariably, I'll be in the
left lane when I need to make a right exit.
I learned the hard way that the HOV lane does not have an exit for I-85
West - or is it south?. Or was it I-20? Whatever it was, we spent an
hour wandering around the streets trying to find our way back to I-75.
I guess we must have been on Peachtree!
Anne, Two hours from Atlanta and that's close enough!
