I suppose it depends how many people are trying to get out in the first 24 hours? may be safer to parallel them. again train tracks are ok if no one else has the same idea ditto the "bandit" thing. I normally wear a paracord bracelet with a mini compass on it(got a larger one in the car) so I can use that day time or on cloudy nights....provided I know which direction i'm going in!

That's a fair point. I think we'd all agree that people have less than 3 days worth of food, on average, in their homes. So the first 24 hours would be a lot of looting of supermarkets and the alike, however, that makes me think that the out of city roads would be pretty safe during this time. After a week, I'd stay well clear from main roads. Definite bandit threats!
