Louisiana officials revealed a new plan today that is designed to move residents away from danger without massive backups in the event that another massive hurricane strikes the state. The plan was revealed after state officials didn’t order critical lane reversals on Interstate highways known as "contraflow" until nearly 18 hours after residents were told to flee the storm. The result was a traffic snarl that stretched from New Orleans to Baton Rouge and lasted nearly 12 hours.
