2004年和2005年的飓风季节凸显了沿海国家为飓风做好准备并进行相关疏散的重要性。为了促进有效的飓风疏散交通操作，德克萨斯交通研究所研究了墨西哥湾和大西洋沿岸各州的交通操作实践。这项研究主要是通过审查有关经验教训的报告以及对这些州的交通部门和一些公共安全部门的工作人员的采访来完成的。从这些发现中，确定了一些有益的做法，包括机构政策问题的细节，逆流操作，紧急肩道，驾驶员信息，智能交通系统和礼貌巡逻。因此，提出了具体建议，供德克萨斯州交通部考虑加强飓风疏散的交通操作。
The 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons underscored the significance of coastal states' preparedness for hurricanes and associated evacuations. To facilitate effective hurricane evacuation traffic operations, the Texas Transportation Institute researched the traffic operations practices of various states along the coasts of the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean. This research was accomplished largely through reviews of reports on lessons learned and interviews with staff members of departments of transportation and some departments of public safety for these states. From these findings, several beneficial practices were identified, including details on agency policy issues, contraflow operations, emergency shoulder lanes, motorist information, intelligent transportation systems, and courtesy patrols. As a result, specific recommendations are presented for the Texas Department of Transportation to consider in enhancing traffic operations for hurricane evacuation.
