Today, we're starting a tweet series with insights on the impact of #coronavirus and measures such as #socialdistancing, from Numina sensors around the world. We'll start with our own New York City. Follow #numinadaily #coronacount
Midtown Manhattan #NYC maintained typical pedestrian traffic thru 3/11. After @NYGovCuomo announced restrictions on mass gatherings & shutdowns of institutions like #Broadway, we observed steady ⬇️ in ped volumes to now <40% of normal! #numinadaily #coronacount #socialdistancing
When are declines are occurring? Comparing Thurs 3/19 to 3/12 in #NYC, pedestrian & bike lunch & rush hour peaks have flattened. While overall truck volumes are smaller, there is more activity this week in AM hrs, perhaps to meet new delivery demands. #numinadaily #coronacount
In #SF’s Golden Gate Park, car traffic has been decreasing, while non-motorized traffic has significantly increased — bicycles, shown here by day & wk, are up 200%! More space allocated to pedestrians & cyclists would support effective #socialdistancing. #numinadaily #coronacount
Our data shows that New Yorkers are doing their best with #socialdistancing. But this snapshot from Saturday shows how difficult it can be, given limited sidewalk space. We hope the city will respond to recs from @TransAlt & @NYGovCuomo to #giveNYCspace. #numinadaily #coronacount
Comparing shortest distance betwn any 2 ppl at Golden Gate Park #SF before & after shelter-in-place, more are stay at least 6 ft. apart than a wk ago, though effect is still small. We'll dig into more #socialdistancing behaviors & context in coming days. #numinadaily #coronacount
What does #socialdistancing look like when there are only pedestrians in the roadway? How do peds behave around vehicles? We looked at Sundays in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. 3/22: 76% of ped activity <6' apart was in the south (righthand) crosswalk. #numinadaily #coronacount
At Stulsaft Park in @RedwoodCity, the Parks&Rec team took action to protect their visitors, closing off a high-touch entrance gate, routing visitors to open, no-touch entrances. This will help thousands of visitors (and their dogs) stay safe and healthy! #numinadaily #coronacount
(As context: Below is an example from March 8, 2020, of activity at the "high-touch" entrance, which creates a bit of a choke point for visitors. Under normal circumstances, it's not an issue, but the @RedwoodCity Parks&Rec team recognized it's not ideal for #socialdistancing.)
