Aerial view of northbound traffic jam on all available eight lanes of Interstate 45. news.yahoo.com Privatization would improve average traffic but I doubt any private operator could have avoided these traffic jams following the evacuation request. A back of the envelop calculation: let's assume a car length of 5 m, 4 passengers/car -> 1 m / refugee.
