Before heading out the door, check our live traffic map.

This is customized for the Peachtree Corners community. And clicking on the "larger map" feature at the bottom also brings up the larger Mapquest version for you to get directions, etc.

Find out where the traffic tie-ups are and avoid sitting in traffic any longer than you already do.

Use the map to:

• Avoid a traffic accident
• Find out where road construction may be slowing traffic
• Locate bottle necks due to heavy traffic

If you see an icon such as an orange triangle that appears on the map, mouse over the icon for information on just what's holding up the traffic in that spot.

The roads that show up in green are free flowing, the yellow means expect slow traffic on this portion of the road and if you see red, there are major traffic delays.

The map is updated every five minutes. We'll keep it handy on our homepage so you can locate it easily.

If you find this new feature handy, let us know. Just use our comment box below.
