Would the express lanes operate as toll lanes during emergencies such as Hurricane Evacuation?
It is common for the Governor to suspend tolls during emergencies such as hurricane evacuation. This would also apply to the Express lanes. Further, consideration can be given in the design of the express lanes to facilitate all lanes to flow in the direction of the evacuation. This would allow a significant improvement to evacuation capacity while providing access to emergency vehicles that need to move into the areas being evacuated.
