Commuting is a drag, Gwinnett -- so let's commute smarter.

Each day, the Atlanta Regional Commission compiles real-time traffic data from INRIX, which uses data from GPS devices and individual drivers to show where bottlenecks are forming in the county. The data listed below shows the biggest traffic issues happening right now.

*As of 3 p.m., Ga. 124 South and U.S. 78 was backed up for 2.91 miles.

*U.S. 78 East at Ga. 81 was experiencing a bottleneck of about 2.37 miles.

*Ga. 120 East at U.S. 29 was backed up for about 1.6 miles.

Several other locations had bottlenecks of more than a mile:

*Ga. 124 North at Norris Lake Road -- 1.21 miles

*Ga. 20 South at I-85 -- 1.16 miles

*Ga. 124 North at Ronald Reagan Parkway -- 1.14 miles

*U.S. 29 North at Ga. 20 -- 1.04 miles
