Traffic.

I had a look at the web cams for the M5 & A38, Hardly any traffic at all, only the odd lorry & car, no caravans being towed or camper vans spotted. Maybe it is getting through to people.
Try them in your area people & see if those are quiet too?

Re: Traffic.

There have been several couples and joggers going past our house today - I'm hoping they are all out for their hour's exercise or walk.

Many people out on their bikes too...

Same here. Quite a few family groups out and about too.

Re: Traffic.

I've looking at the webcams all over, and have noticed especially the coastal resorts with this sunny weather.....there's been an increase in activity of people and vehicles.

But most seem to be couples or families who obey the distance rule.

We can hope thats the case.

Human nature, as people become more relaxed they'll push the rules........ Problem is this attitude could bring about a stricter lockdown.

Re: Traffic.

It's the same in the air lanes too. I checked on the flight radar and there are only a few up there with most of those being freighters.

Re: Traffic.

Living in close proximity to Gatwick it took a little while to get used to the lack of activity in the blue yonder. At first the skies seemed almost eerily quiet, now it seems just plain peaceful. I almost feel guilty for saying that.

Re: Traffic.

I’ve heard a few boy racers bombing past here! They think they are F1 racing drivers racing in the Grand Prix!
I bet they are loving the empty roads... there’s never a police patrol car about to catch them though!

It's a quiet sky here too, apart from the odd helicopter.
