All of the major evacuation routes have turned into parking lots.

FNC keeps showing I-10; it's flowing at a snails pace. No wonder people don't want to evacuate. Anyone who doesn't load up and leave early isn't going to make it out.

Bizzare. Can someone shed some light onto WHY the traffic is moving so slowly? I can understand the left lane being sluggish due to absorbing incoming traffic, and other lanes being slowed by merging traffic, but it looks to be nearly a standstill. It certainly explains the reservations people have about being caught in their cars.

I've driven that road a couple of times and can't remember how many lanes there are,,, thinking at least 4, maybe 5.

When this is over, LA residents should storm the Captiol and DEMAND a revision of evacuation plans.

You are seeing three lanes of traffic trying to accommodate an evacuation of over 1 million people. They will open the other direction to outbound traffic very soon.
