How do they handle a wreck on those escape routes?
Is there a special procedure set up?
I know they close the other lanes and redirect traffic to use them but 500,000 people on the road fleeing could soon become a quagmire I suspect.
I suspect breakdowns are more of an issue than actual wrecks. When the highways start getting congested, traffic slows to a crawl. Breakdowns can usually be moved out of the traffic lanes to the shoulder if necessary, as can the minor fender benders that are more likely to occur at slower speeds.
