    Reversed... as in the Eastbound lanes now becoming Westbound lanes? I've never heard of such a thing.

    Common practice , when needed. Drop down gates at the ramps to prevent traffic from getting on the hwy . Get as many people out of harms way as possible .

    People are evacuating due to the Hurricane. I-526 is bumper to bumper right now.

    Hurricane Evacution Route Plan activated ... must be a complete chaos, regardless. Probably more chaotic then might otherwise be.

    Seems they have all the traffic cameras taken offline :biggrin_25513: But I'd walk on glass on my hands and knees if Nikki Haley ask me to. She's a hottie IMO.

    It's called counter-flow. Allows for rapid evacuation of the coastal areas.
