TxDOT putting gas tankers along evacuation routes
Via The Austin Business Journal.
Gov. Rick Perry on Thursday ordered the Texas Department of Transportation to begin positioning gasoline tankers along hurricane evacuation routes to assist motorists who might run out of fuel.
Highways out of Houston, Corpus Christi, Galveston and other areas that could be affected by Hurricane Rita are clogged with motorists fleeing to Austin, San Antonio and other areas.
Perry also has directed TxDOT to allow motorists to travel outbound on inbound lanes of I-10 and I-45. Texas state troopers have been placed at critical points along evacuation routes to aid traffic flow.
