Am in Ontario Canada, have been to Florida a couple of times via air so really not sure of hwy layouts.
During the hurricanes we'd watch the news and a few times we saw aerial shots of a major hwy, 2 lanes north bound and 2 lanes south bound.
North bound lane bumper to bumper and at a crawl, south bound empty ?
Why wouldn't the authorities open the south bound lanes and allow north bound traffic to use it particularly during day light hours. If I had of been sitting in the north bound traffic I would have been across the blvd or at the next exit got on the south bound lanes and headed north during day light hours.
