Yeah, you're being a fuddy-duddy. :>) But, in particular, i think what's going on here is that the state/city are saying, "Hey, we want to fix this all over the weekend so that travel can be normal on Monday, why doesn't everyone stay off the roads and let us do that?" They sent a very clear signal of that with the traffic ban, and organizations are following the state's lead. Is that the right call? Remains to be seen. But i think it's what's going on.
