Americans return to the road after quarantine
News24xx.com - Cars are returning to American roads, although traffic is still much lower than it was as long as many states issued restraining orders.
Last week, drivers in the United States showed the greatest activity since the end of March, Autoblog reports citing StreetLight Data, a company that collects and analyzes car traffic.
Over the first week of May, 60% more trips were recorded in the country than at the very beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. However, it is 49% lower than in January 2020 and, of course, significantly lower than it usually is in the spring under normal circumstances. For example, in the state of Minnesota, traffic congestion in megacities is still 71% lower than in the same period a year ago, and 66% less than the state average.
However, traffic is gradually gaining momentum: Americans are returning to the road after quarantine. In rural districts and suburbs, there is a more significant increase in traffic compared to urban areas and megacities.
StreetLight Data explains this with a more meager infrastructure - people have to drive to stores because delivery services may not be available. The highest congestion in the first week of May was recorded in Michigan, Minnesota and Montana, the smallest - in Virginia, New Mexico, Arizona and Maryland. According to local authorities, people make small trips - usually within their county.
