Why is it easier for people to keep safe from a volcano eruption that from an earthquake?

Since a volcano eruption happens and starts at one place, lava and pyroclastic flow has to flow outwards from the volcano, therefore making it easier for people to fun away from it like they're being chased. But an earthquake usually shakes a large area, destroying all the roads in the area, so it would take longer to leave the affected area, one of the reasons being the fact that roads are destroyed.
