I agree. If you live near the ocean you'd be better off going by boat. Preferably a sail boat considering that fuel will be scarce and extremely expensive if available. Also using a small private plane may work. In a perfect world you'd either own one of the above or buy/barter some ones services who has one. If all else fails, you know.

Can you imagine what the road rage would be like?
Throw in hunger, thirst, excessive heat or cold weather, mass panic, crying babies, etc., definitely not a pretty picture.

Visit the DC Metro area on any given day and that will give you an idea. Check out recent washington Post articles about our recent "ice storm." My plan is to stay in place until the crazyiness dies down.
Any given afternoon in Atlanta/LA/Miami/DC/SF/Etc. will give you a pretty good idea of what the freeways will look like in a SHTF scenario - they are that way daily. The length of the overall "parking lot" may be longer during a disaster situation, but stopped is stopped, regardless of the cause.
