But for those of us that choose to stay for what ever reason it's an issue that if not addressed imposes risks.
Plans can change and people find they have to be fluid in adapting to these changes which is why I have a back up bug out plan with several redundancies allowing me to make fluid changes to fit as wide a list of scenarios as possible, some of us that plan to leave may find they cannot, or its less safe to do so... If I where a bandit I would set up outside of a city and identify any roads on or off Tarmac that people fleeing may take as they are the ones most likely to have the greater amount of stores and so more attractive targets.
A militia may well be what helps these people to leave by policing these rogues.

that is why i am nowhere near a city and havent been for 14 years, i may stay here(small market town) or i may bug out (plan B), if the latter i have several routes and several BOL's in ALL directions, none of which entail going by ROAD either in a vehicle or on foot. anyone in a city would be advised to leave BEFORE shtf or find a safe place to hide within the city if they cannot leave, once TSHTF the roads will be blocked by refugees-going nowhere fast.
watch any WW2 newsreels for documentaries on refugees-they arent going anywhere they're just leaving.
