Intersecting US Routes:
The worst potential traffic problems will occur at the southern end, as it begins in a suburb of Birmingham. The only other large town through which the route actually hits is at Gadsden. Keep careful watch for route signs here, they are easy to miss.
Riders traveling eastbound on I-20 probably should wait until the exit for US-231 Northbound. The Leeds area surface roads are very congested, especially during AM and PM rush hours. You won't really miss anything important and the mileage added is made up in the travel time saved.
