The COVID-19 pandemic altered every aspect of urban life. In response, city transportation officials around the world quickly implemented new street design and management tools to keep essential workers and goods moving, provide safe access to grocery stores and other essential businesses, and ensure that people have safe space for social/physical distancing while getting outside.
