We still have U.S. 17, U.S. 80, Ga. 21, and Ga. 204 for entry into the city. These highways enter the city from all directions and provide more than sufficient access into the city during the time of an evacuation. This is relatively simple to do and would provide for the greatest traffic flow rate, while discouraging folks from taking alternative routes out of the city. Savannah is already a city of one-way streets, and this should be an obvious solution to our local politicians to handle the traffic flow on a larger scale. Obviously, this would be too expensive, as we can't even complete the Truman Parkway and cannot endure any more taxes.
Solution see above.
And before you say, Ah, this guy sounds like he has an ax to grind, you're right. It's because posting municipal officers on an interstate highway to generate income, while disappearing during a time of need, is wrong. I am thankful we were spared this time. Chatham Emergency Management Agency officials stated they were very pleased we had a 60 percent-plus evacuation rate. I suggest to you that will not happen the next time, as many people will choose to stay home in light of the hell we endured getting out of town.
