This video follows the Langford Parkway (formerly known as the
Lakewood Freeway) West and then back east completing it's entire 6
mile length in both directions. It's a quirky little road, nothing
like the other freeways/highways in the Atlanta area.

Filmed in stunning HD :)



Enjoy,

Beautiful stuff.

My grandparents on my mommas side lived on Womack Ave., the surface
street you get dumped off onto at the US-29 exit (AKA the north-side
frontage road). Went to lots of movies at Greenbriar Mall.

Just drove GA-166 last month when I was in ATL.

Enjoy I did, Jim. Very nice work.

Almost makes me want to head to N. Georgia to do a little filming one
day (I'd love to cover some of the back roads in the N. Georgia
mountains).

Thanks for the ride.

Very interesting. It looks much like WA-520 (another early-60s
vintage freeway) without the floating bridge.

What boggles my mind is that many early 1960s non-Interstate freeways
were built with 2' inside shoulders. I can understand why they may
have been built with short merges and inappropriately small
interchange spacing--but really, thinking that someone breaking down
in the left lane can always make it to the right shoulder?

What happens now when somebody breaks down in lanes 2 through 9 in some
of the freeways in use today?
