Gardaí have claimed typical traffic levels have fallen by an average of 15% on national roads following the introduction of Operation Fanacht. 

The reported volume of private cars on national roads dropped significantly in Dublin following the introduction of travel restrictions as a result of Level 3 measures to curb the spread of Covid-19 on September 19, Gardaí said.
