Due to the coronavirus and the non-essential business order by the Governor, there have been fewer drivers on the roads, said MassDOT.

The state department reported 50% fewer drivers on Massachusetts roads.

But fewer drivers does not mean safer roads. MassDOT reported fatalities on Massachusetts roads had increased in April.
