I'm surprised with the hurricane experience that Florida has, that they haven't worked out a system of ramp closure gates and telemetry to convert all eight lanes of the Interstate to all go the same way out of Dodge. In Virginia the I64 corridor, all eight lanes between Virginia Beach, Newport-News, Camp Peary, Fort Story, Langley AFB, NAS Norfolk, Dam Deck and Littler Creek Amphib base go west bound only clear top Richmond. It takes about an hour to close the eastbound ramps, divert eastbound traffic onto US58 or I95 and have VSP sweep the eastbound lanes clear and reverse the traffic flow. They do it once a year just for practice.
