[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So we are now going to take cars off the roads built for cars (and shared with peds and bikers) but the cars can't drive on the sidewalk or trails. Am I getting this right? How many people driving in a car are spreading a virus as opposed to how many people walking, biking and jogging in close proximity?? What about people who work and don't want to use public transportation right now for obvious reasons? This is so silly. Beach Dr in CC is closed all weekend and I have no problem with this. Yesterday (Thursday) I had to swerve around two women and a dog literally walking in the street and was almost hit by an oncoming car. Let's apply a little common sense here. Sharing the road doesn't mean closing the road.[/quote]

Many vehicles would still be allowed just not through traffic.  This is likely to apply just to streets classified as “local” and not collectors or arterial streets.  And by definition (under the federal functional road classification which most jurisdictions follow) local streets are not appropriate for through traffic.[/quote]
