View looking south along Highbury Ave in London, Ontario from the overpass on Commissioners Road. This view was taken on April 7, 2020 and shows the minimal traffic. Gorski Consulting is making a comparison to a similar videotaping session conducted on November 20, 2019.
Traffic on Highbury Ave videotaped on November 20, 2019 has been compared with a similar videotaping session on April 7, 2020. This work is being done for a number of reasons. But the obvious fact is that traffic volume has been reduced due to the effects of the lockdown from the worldwide Corona Virus pandemic. This difference in traffic volume should cause differences in the interactions of traffic and the numbers and types of collisions. It may demonstrate what could be achieved in the future if motor vehicle traffic is reduced and active transportation is increased. Stay tuned as we release some of our data from this testing in the next few days.
