How will emergency vehicles function during an evacuation?
There are going to be emergencies during evacuation, and emergency vehicles are going to need a way to get through traffic quickly. Law enforcement will issue citations to motorists who block these lanes by trying to move through traffic quicker themselves. Motorists must stay in line with the flow of traffic. If someone needs to stop along a designated evacuation route (i.e. for gas, to use the restroom, etc.), will they be able to get back on the road? There will be comfort stations/rest areas at designated areas along I-26. Department of Natural Resources officers will be on hand to ensure motorists safety when they stop and to help coordinate the flow of traffic in and out.
