Those that didn't come out or evacuate get evacuated by a bullet. We saw buddy in the street with a pistol next to him, clearly he had no interest in leaving via a truck.

My guess is a lot of people fled the major cities too. Explains why you have random country roads in TWD filled with cars. Also explains how there are so many large crowds of walkers in the forests.
If you had 10 million people in the city, maybe 4-5 million left the city. The remainder were killed or are in one of these safe zones.
It probably all has to do with budget. If you were to actually show the chaos, you'd essentially need the budget of a film like World War Z. CGI shots of hoards of walkers, tunnel and traffic scenes with chaos, gun battles, army and police officers being overrun, etc...
I find it strange that the people inside the safe zone seem to be so clueless though. You can still see through the fences. The scale of devastation they are talking about would be plainly visible. You'd also be able to hear non-stop gun fire.
