Navigating the Frontier of North Gwinnett: Buford Traffic

Buford serves as a critical residential, commercial, and logistical hub for the Northern Atlanta metropolitan area. Home to the world-class Mall of Georgia and situated at the vital split of I-85 and I-985, the city manages a unique mix of high-stakes commuter transit and significant regional tourism flows. Its strategic position makes it one of the most transit-dense areas in Gwinnett County.

According to 2024 Census estimates, the average one-way commute for Buford residents is approximately 27.5 minutes, reflecting the city's position as a high-growth hub in the Northern Gwinnett corridor. However, this reliability is highly sensitive to the status of the I-85 corridor. During peak hours, the northern suburbs can experience significant congestion as commuters return from the Atlanta business core. For the thousands of residents navigating this hub, real-time traffic monitoring is an essential tool for finding the clearest path through the North Metro.

The I-85 and I-985 Interchange: The North Gateway

The junction of I-85 and I-985 in Buford is one of the most vital transit nodes in Georgia. This interchange handles the convergence of traffic heading toward Gainesville, Lake Lanier, and the South Carolina border. The I-85 corridor through Buford is among the busiest in the state, with peak segments handling over 160,000 vehicles daily according to traffic data from the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT).

Mall of Georgia and the Retail Core

As the largest shopping destination in the state, the area surrounding the Mall of Georgia experiences intense traffic surges during holiday weekends and special events. The mall handles millions of annual visitors, placing extreme demand on the GA-20 (Buford Drive) corridor.

Real-time cameras allow you to monitor:

• Buford Drive & Mall Access: Watch for delays at the primary entry points for the mall's massive parking facilities.
• Gravel Springs Interchange: Track the flow around the city's northern residential and retail hubs.
• Ridge Road Hub: A vital alternative for local transit avoiding the main commercial bottlenecks.

Local Flow and Lake Lanier Access

Beyond the highways, Buford's surface streets manage the daily flow of a large professional and service workforce. Hamilton Mill Road and South Bogan Road serve as the primary arterials for the city's residential neighborhoods and central parks. Gwinnett County is part of the Atlanta Region, which saw 523 traffic fatalities in 2023; monitoring live feeds for incidents and weather is a critical safety step for local drivers navigating these high-volume thoroughfares.
