I live on Vancouver Island in BC and we only have one road connecting the southern (most populated) part of the island to 95% of the rest of the island. Yes it's a terrible situation and yes we've been complaining about it for decades.
Anyway, every time there's an accident or any other issue on that road, it obviously slows things down, and since the advent of smart phones, people have been searching for alternate routes. Quite famously (although obviously not famous for everyone), Google does recognize one detour. But it's a choppy logging road, and as soon as one car gets stuck on it, all the cars behind it do too

And there's only one road connecting the eastern side with the western side. We were there a few years ago, and a huge mudslide took out half of Highway 4. People were told they had to stay in Tofino for two days because there was no other way out.
