Florida issues mandatory evacuations due to Hurricane Milton, causing heavy traffic on highways, particularly in Georgia.

Hurricane Milton has led Florida officials to issue mandatory evacuations, significantly increasing traffic congestion on highways. In Georgia, traffic on I-75 has surged by 280%, with many evacuees heading toward Atlanta. To ease this, Georgia's Peach Pass service is converting some southbound express lanes to northbound, while Florida has activated Emergency Shoulder Use on I-75 and I-4 to facilitate evacuation. Drivers should prepare for delays and follow official updates.
