When you advising an evacuation turn traffic around on the "in-bound" lanes. In other words the West bound lanes on I-10 and I-12 from Mississippi to N.O. and the South bound lanes of I-55 and I-59 and can be used to drive East or North. Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Texas have preplanned for this type of opperation. Maybe now that Bobby Jindal is in charge, he'll figure that out. I certainly would not expect Ray Nagin to. OK, here is a tip from a Floridian. When you advising an evacuation turn traffic around on the “in-bound” lanes.
