Default Evac from florida

I'm in Illinois and never had to evacuate en masse. Watching the terrible traffic jams on the northbound interstate and empty southbound...my first uneducated idea.......why not redirect maybe 2 lanes of the southbound road into northbound..leaving one nearest the center for emergency vehicles. I know here in Illinois with road construction being our fourth season, major arterial and local highways are redirected constantly.......just wondering
also..there are trains that could carry many people - could offer lower ticket or free to citizens seeking safety,and trans continental buses that could perhaps be used too. Just thinking there should be more streamlined ways of moving masses of people in emergency situations...
