“That is really what continues to worry me for the U.S. and Australia as well, and Canada and other places in these areas where we have a lot of people densely located and roads that could be potentially inadequate to allow them safe escape.”
That’s largely what happened when evacuation orders were first issued in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood, The New York Times reports. The upscale, hillside area is known for its steep topography and sprawling views over the Pacific Ocean. But the area has few roads leading in and out, and when most people flock to the Pacific Coast Highway, for escape, it became “tantamount to a one way in, one way out community,” Thomas Cova, a professor of geography at the University of Utah, told me on Thursday. 
“The roads are not designed for anywhere near that many people to leave at once, and so you get gridlock,” said Cova, who studies wildfire emergency management. He was particularly struck by the fact that people abandoned their cars to run from the flames, similar to those caught in the middle of the destructive Lahaina fire that burned through Maui in 2023. “People don’t get out of their cars and run for nothing.” 

DJ, You can not evacuate millions of people from mega-cities in modern city-fires...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Fire_of_London or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Fire_of_London ; The Great Fire of London was a major conflagration that swept through central London from Sunday 2 September to Thursday 6 September 1666,^[b] gutting the medieval City of London inside the old Roman city wall, while also extending past the wall to the west. The death toll is generally thought to have been relatively small,^[1]^[2] although some historians have challenged this belief.^[3]

DJ, Urban fires in basics still have many of the same issues; Getting water in, people out...

You could create "open spaces" in urban areas but since the groud could bring up a lot of profits if there is a building on it such ideas are expensive...
