The road warriors : 5/3/1999 It was an eerie scene, even for seasoned Atlanta traffic warriors -- cars lined up bumper-to-bumper on Roswell Road in Fulton County after 7 p.m., the aftermath of a rain-induced pileup April 27 on Georgia 400. And it was a horrible night for Mike Burke, manager of the Tanner's Chicken Rotisserie at 4920 Roswell Road, in the Kroger-anchored shopping center about a mile inside Interstate 285. With dozens of weary, frustrated drivers bailing out of the two-hour commute home for a quiet dinner, Burke found himself turning away customers. Two of his servers, due in at 6 p.m., didn't arrive until 8:30 p.m. The harried young hostess simply gave up, walking out on the crisis. By 7:30 p.m., Burke was offering takeout to customers who would have preferred to wait out the traffic in a corner booth. "They couldn't eat in because we couldn't serve them," he said. The restaurant wound up serving 152 patrons, about 20 more than a typical Tuesday evening, he said. It was one of the worst traffic snarls Burke had ever seen. The only thing close was a jam-up last summer in the opposite direction, heading into Atlanta. On that day, Burke said a passenger jumped out of his car, ran to Tanner's for takeout, and ran back to the car eight to 10 minutes later to find the car had moved only a couple of hundred yards. "Traffic is just terrible," he said. "Something has to be done about it."
