Doug breaks down what he, Smilin' Mark, and the WSB Traffic Team think of GDOT's decision to delay the double-lane-closures on I-285 on the north side and why the state had to. Then GFBI agent Coleman Fisher comes back for the second of three parts in his interview with Doug, this time discussing whether pandemic driving is actually more dangerous and when a good time to shop insurance is.

Doug talks about some recent traffic trends after Labor Day and the delay in major I-285 lane closures. Doug then interviews Georgia Farm Bureau Insurance agent Coleman Fisher on what exactly his company insures, how it got its name, and why a local insurer is very beneficial to the customer.

Doug interviews SRTA Executive Director Chris Tomlinson about how the Peach Pass will make Airport parking easier and how that system is expanding. Doug also shares a terrible instance about people that blocked an emergency lane and toasts Mark Arum's last day in Triple Team Traffic after over two decades of service.

Smilin' and Doug convene to break down the ramps closing and the big one opening and changing locations in Sandy Springs. GDOT's Natalie Dale joins to discuss the big benchmark in the GA-400/I-285 project. Then Doug and Smilin' discuss any pattern changes for the beginning of back to school season.

Smilin' and Doug recap the Newnan tornado damage and how people can help those survivors. They also compare President Biden's recent Atlanta visit to those in the past and relive the I-85 bridge collapse four years ago and what drivers can learn now. They also talk to Jimmy Deloach Jr. about the loss of his daughter in a distracted driving crash and cover the many different ways and consequences of driving distracted.

State Road and Tollway Authority Executive Director Chris Tomlinson joins Turnbull and McKay again to give a "State of the Express Lanes" address of sorts. They discuss how COVID impacted lane-use, the transition to the new Peach Pass app, the purposes of the lanes for local, freight, and out-of-state travelers. They also compare the I-85 lane system to the those on I-75 and talk about where people should expect to find these lanes in the future. Tomlinson also discusses mass transit in Georgia and the ATL transit organization's goals.

Turnbull and McKay are joined by WSB Triple Team Traffic's Ashley Frasca and Alex Williams as they analyze shootings, the five dead on I-285 Monday morning, chases, and pedestrians hit that shut down roads in the last week. They also discuss the fatal shooting investigation on I-85 that morning and what major traffic event it was akin to. On a lighter note, they wrap up by discussing Frasca's, Mike Shields', and Zach Grizzle's first cars.

Smilin' and Fireball return and open the new year with an update on COVID traffic patterns. They also talk about a big MARTA train outage in Buckhead next month (info: https://www.itsmarta.com/trackreplacement.aspx), a new and easy toll app (info: https://www.gotoll.com ) that just debuted in Georgia, and the songs that make them speed. Margo McKenna from the Traffic Team also describes her first car, as do Doug and Smilin' Mark.

McKay does a Q&A with Turnbull about the year 2020 on the Atlanta roads and Veronica Harrell weighs in on having to work remotely and what she hopes for in 2021.
