OR did something similar 4 years ago. The roads in the area with totality are mostly state and county roads and they were worried about emergency vehicles not being able to get through. Of course the population density around Niagra pretty much eclipses :) the whole population of OR!

Supposedly the difference between 100% and 98 or 99% is night and day. It's about 4-5 hours away for me......plus all the traffic. I want to swing it, but it doesn't work.

Witnessing a total eclipse is a fundamentally different experience than a partial eclipse, even at 99.9%, and well worth the effort to see. I was in KY for the 2017 eclipse. The traffic coming home sucked, but if you can handle a typical Saturday in Columbus during football season, this should be no problem. You can fit a lot of people into a strip 200 miles wide and 2000 miles long. I plan to watch it from my brother-in-law's house in Oxford OH. I just hope the sky is clear.

I went to Paducah, KY for the eclipse, too. The only traffic we saw was in/around Cincinnati, and I think that was because they closed the 71/75 bridge. Though, now that I think of it, we got to Paducah the day before and left the day after. Maybe all these estimates saying how bad the traffic is going to be are based on people arriving and leaving today.
I am getting a kick out of the "oh no! Traffic!!! RUN!!!" folks. Is it really going to be worse than after a Buckeye game? Or after a Browns game? I'm going to bet "no".
