Once COVID-19 was officially declared a worldwide pandemic, many countries implemented stay-at-home orders or recommendations which led to an immediate decline in the number of cars on the road. Lockdowns were implemented starting in March 2020 in cities around the world including New York, Bogota, Mumbai, and Manila. Waze data [footnote: Waze, owned by Google, is the world’s largest community-based traffic and navigation app, through which drivers contribute to a global database of real-time traffic and road info.] for these cities [footnote: Data includes traffic alerts, irregularities, and jams.] shows a pronounced decrease in traffic volume immediately following the introduction of the lockdowns.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --></div><div class="observer navigation-highlights svelte-n5348p"></div> <div class="observer loading svelte-n5348p"></div> <a name="c22"></a> <div class="roadtrafficlines vis-container main svelte-x9jmks" style="--goal-color : var(--color-un-sdg9)"><div class="internal-container svelte-x9jmks"><div class="title-container svelte-x9jmks"><h1 class="svelte-x9jmks">Road traffic declined in many cities in the first weeks of the pandemic</h1> <h2 class="svelte-x9jmks"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->Weekly Waze traffic alerts: New York, Bogota, Mumbai, Manila (2019-2021)<!-- HTML_TAG_END --></h2></div> <div class="vis svelte-x9jmks" role="img" aria-label="Set of four area charts showing the number of weekly waze alerts in New York, Bogota, Mumbai, and Manila between 2019 and 2021."><div class="loading svelte-1vykx8k" style="min-height: 60vh;"><img src="/sdgatlas/assets/images/tail-spin.svg" alt="Loading" class="svelte-1vykx8k"> <div style="display: flex"><div style="width: 75%"></div> <div style="width: 25%"></div></div> </div> </div> <div class="source svelte-x9jmks"><span class="note svelte-x9jmks">Note: <!-- HTML_TAG_START -->Waze alerts include traffic alerts, irregularities, and jams.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --></span> <span class="download-share svelte-x9jmks"><span class="download svelte-x9jmks borderless"></span> <span class="download svelte-x9jmks"><a class="download-icon svelte-x9jmks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" aria-label="Download Image"><span aria-hidden="true">Image</span><svg class="svelte-fa svelte-1cj2gr0" style="height:1em;vertical-align:-.125em;transform-origin:center;overflow:visible" viewBox="0 0 512 512" aria-hidden="true" role="img" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g transform="translate(256 256)" transform-origin="128 0"><g transform="translate(0,0) scale(1,1)"><path d="M0 96C0 60.7 28.7 32 64 32H448c35.3 0 64 28.7 64 64V416c0 35.3-28.7 64-64 64H64c-35.3 0-64-28.7-64-64V96zM323.8 202.5c-4.5-6.6-11.9-10.5-19.8-10.5s-15.4 3.9-19.8 10.5l-87 127.6L170.7 297c-4.6-5.7-11.5-9-18.7-9s-14.2 3.3-18.7 9l-64 80c-5.8 7.2-6.9 17.1-2.9 25.4s12.4 13.6 21.6 13.6h96 32H424c8.9 0 17.1-4.9 21.2-12.8s3.6-17.4-1.4-24.7l-120-176zM112 192a48 48 0 1 0 0-96 48 48 0 1 0 0 96z" fill="currentColor" transform="translate(-256 -256)"></path></g></g></svg></a></span> <span class="share svelte-x9jmks"><a alt="Copy link to clipboard"><span aria-hidden="true">Copy Link</span><svg class="svelte-fa svelte-1cj2gr0" style="height:1em;vertical-align:-.125em;transform-origin:center;overflow:visible" viewBox="0 0 640 512" aria-hidden="true" role="img" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g transform="translate(320 256)" transform-origin="160 0"><g transform="translate(0,0) scale(1,1)"><path d="M562.8 267.7c56.5-56.5 56.5-148 0-204.5c-50-50-128.8-56.5-186.3-15.4l-1.6 1.1c-14.4 10.3-17.7 30.3-7.4 44.6s30.3 17.7 44.6 7.4l1.6-1.1c32.1-22.9 76-19.3 103.8 8.6c31.5 31.5 31.5 82.5 0 114L405.3 334.8c-31.5 31.5-82.5 31.5-114 0c-27.9-27.9-31.5-71.8-8.6-103.8l1.1-1.6c10.3-14.4 6.9-34.4-7.4-44.6s-34.4-6.9-44.6 7.4l-1.1 1.6C189.5 251.2 196 330 246 380c56.5 56.5 148 56.5 204.5 0L562.8 267.7zM43.2 244.3c-56.5 56.5-56.5 148 0 204.5c50 50 128.8 56.5 186.3 15.4l1.6-1.1c14.4-10.3 17.7-30.3 7.4-44.6s-30.3-17.7-44.6-7.4l-1.6 1.1c-32.1 22.9-76 19.3-103.8-8.6C57 372 57 321 88.5 289.5L200.7 177.2c31.5-31.5 82.5-31.5 114 0c27.9 27.9 31.5 71.8 8.6 103.9l-1.1 1.6c-10.3 14.4-6.9 34.4 7.4 44.6s34.4 6.9 44.6-7.4l1.1-1.6C416.5 260.8 410 182 360 132c-56.5-56.5-148-56.5-204.5 0L43.2 244.3z" fill="currentColor" transform="translate(-320 -256)"></path></g></g></svg></a></span></span> </div> <p class="source-text svelte-x9jmks">Source: <!-- HTML_TAG_START -->Waze<!-- HTML_TAG_END --></p></div> </div><div class="observer navigation-highlights svelte-n5348p"></div> <div class="observer loading svelte-n5348p"></div> <a name="c23"></a> <div class="text-block layout-main svelte-qvzwez"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->Multiple studies documented the drop in pollutant levels in early 2020, when movement was limited due to the pandemic, compared to the same period in 2019. In particular, levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO2), one of the most potent greenhouse gasses, declined in this period. One study, using measurements from 34 countries, found reductions of approximately 60 percent in levels of NO2 and 30 percent in particulate matter (PM2.5) at the ground level. [footnote: Air pollution measurements used satellite data as well as data from more than 10,000 air quality ground stations gathered in 2020 between 1 January and 15 May, and compared with a 3-year average for the same dates. To aggregate the information at the country level the study used population-weighted means based on the population density within 10 km of each station.] [reference: Venter ZS, Aunan K, Chowdhury S, Lelieveld J. 2020.

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2020 Aug 11;117(32):18984-18990] The primary source of NO2 in the atmosphere is road transportation (vehicles including cars, buses, trucks). Exposure to NO2 can lead to the development of asthma and may make people more vulnerable to respiratory infections. [reference: United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

In many cities in lower-income economies, urban planning focuses more on helping private drivers than public transport. This results in congestion which affects public transport the most, as larger vehicles are less agile in traffic. [footnote: Intense competition among public transit firms also incentivizes bus companies to purchase older, more polluting vehicles to keep costs low.] As a result of public transportation shortcomings, people often turn to private cars and taxis (including ride-hailing services) that are highly inefficient in terms of emissions.
