If those gadgets still worked, you know people would be using them.

But... suppose one driver pressed the button to change the light and hit the gas pedal (in moving traffic), going north through an intersection, certain that the light would change... Then suppose another person hit the button to change the light and then hit the gas pedal, headed west through the same intersection?

It seems to me that NOBODY would be getting out of town fast. Dead, maybe, but not fast.

I think that's one of the problems with bugging out. Then there would also be people driving poorly maintained vehicles that suddenly died, people trying to turn or change lanes in front of someone who had no intention of giving way, pedestrians trying to take a short-cut...

Hide at home and avoid many of the problems.
