Because the Perimeter was built so near the city, a second Outer Perimeter (Georgia 500) was proposed, to exist outside even most of the exurbs. The Outer Perimeter was an Expressway originally planned to encircle Atlanta about 20 to 25 miles (about 30 to 40 km further away from the city than the existing The Outer Perimeter was an Expressway originally planned to encircle Atlanta about 20 to 25 miles (about 30 to 40 km further away from the city than the existing A commuter town is an urban community that is primarily residential from which most of the Workforce commute out to earn their livelihood Due to local opposition, most of the idea has been shelved indefinitely; however the Northern Arc section continues to come up, particularly under former governor of Georgia, Roy Barnes.
