Heavy traffic? Not the case here. The local newspaper published pictures of Las Vegas Boulevard in the resort corridor and there were just a few cars on it. Normally it would be choked with cars and taxis but not now. I think dogs are loving it. I bet they have not been getting this much time out of their yards ever before. Ditto for people just walking. About the only time I would see this many people walking is when the nearby elementary school was letting out. What is different is the number of cars parked along residential streets. It's been a great time to ride. It is much easier to cross busy streets. Rarely a wait at all. The only downside so far is all of the restrooms in local parks are closed. You can still get water and wash at the outside sinks but can't use them otherwise. On my own street it is almost as though the Pied Piper came through and snatched up all of the young children. Parents must be keeping them inside or in their back yards. That's starting to change though. Yesterday I saw a dad who had set up a course for his three kids to ride their bikes on the now quiet street.
