ATLANTA -- Apparently, the new mode of cutting down on traffic congestion being used by the Department of Transportation looks to be a success.

After the first day of allowing commuters to utilize the southbound GA 400 emergency shoulder lane for regular traffic, DOT officials are pleased with the results. Officials surmise that they'll need to pay attention to the Northridge Road exit due to extra congestion, in that area. 

However, during the Tuesday morning commute the DOT will use electronic message boards to make sure everyone is clear of the flow of traffic. 

ATLANTA -- It's several hundred square feet of fun: a wall-to-wall LEGO-lover's heaven with every color, combination and construction plan imaginable.

But, Atlanta's LEGOLAND isn't just for kids anymore.  The massive attraction at Phipps Plaza now holds an adult night every second Thursday of the month. 

11Alive photojournalist John Kirtley just had to check it out.

ATLANTA -- Some metro MARTA riders may need cash or credit to purchase Breeze cards at local MARTA stations due to a vending machine upgrade glitch. 

According to MARTA, a Breeze system upgrade has resulted in the debit card function being unavailable at vending machines in seven stations until further notice. 

The affected stations, include: North Springs, Dunwoody, Sandy Springs, Medical Center, Brookhaven, Lindbergh and Georgia State.

However, the machinces are still able to accept cash or credit. Riders can also still use debit cards at all other stations and at RideStores.
