Even if a hundred thousand die on the road it will not stop the exodus if the scenario dictates it. What use your hay bales then or your few days foot travel from major urban centres? This is a small tightly packed country and that could be a problem for many areas depending on the scenario.

I think so many people are losing touch with any kind of reality or perspective in this discussion.

Yes there could be mass exoduses (depending on the event and scale of it), but as you say this will be a problem for "many areas" and will not be a problem "exclusive" to the SW as so many people seem to be indicating. If the roads are blocked, you choose a different route (if you have no set destination - which most won't), so those originally aiming for the south west could easily end up in Wales, the Midlands, the North etc...... As the roads will be blocked long before most arrive anywhere near the SW.
