Traffic levels 'now double the lockdown low'

Traffic levels 'now double the lockdown low'

Traffic has gradually increased since early April and the amount of vehicles on Britain's roads is now at a similar level to that seen in the late 1980s and early 1990s, according to the AA. It slumped to between 35% and 40% of the pre-coronavirus volume at the beginning of lockdown but has since doubled to around 75%, with environmental groups warning that pollution should not be allowed to "creep" back to the level it was before the pandemic.
