How much time do they need? Seems like you don’t really know if a mandatory evacuation is needed until now. At which point contraflow would come into play. Contraflow isn’t needed until you need a mandatory evacuation. The frick is he saying????


THIS

Even if you don't have time for mandatory evac, why wouldn't you implement CONTRAFLOW anyway?
There's going to be a shite-ton of people leaving tomorrow regardless. I can't imagine how bad traffic will be without CONTRAFLOW...
Is it too tough on resources/law enforcement?
What Am I missing?

Nothing. They could easily start contraflow at 1 am when there's no traffic on the road.

They just block the onramps for the inbound part of the interstate. Then they drive through and make sure it's clear. Then they let everyone on going the wrong way.

At some point far enough out, the Landmass blocks the interstate so the evacuees have to either cross over or exit and get back on in the normal direction.

A lot of moving parts but not exactly difficult to implement.
