At 137, are there curbs blocking in the cars in the lanes? I feel like they could have a car exit if necessary. With curbs and walls, it would be physically impossible. And yes, I occasionally do feel claustrophobic in highway traffic jams, but there's little you can do there, I've only twice ended up on the shoulder with an emergency.
At 137, there is no easy way to get out of the line-up. Maybe by driving over the curbs in an SUV? You are similarly stuck in a line for a long time when crossing the US border by car (in a non-COVID year), or lining up for a ferry, or waiting to exit a large parking garage, or ...
I think this urgent need to drive away from the testing line-up should be a very rare occurrence. If you personally feel uncomfortable with it, the walk-in method might be a better option.
