Up until recently it has felt eerily quiet on the roads around Swansea, as the vast majority have rigidly observed lockdown restrictions.
And even though the majority of those restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic are still in place in Wales, there have been anecdotal reports of more traffic about, especially since Prime Minister Boris Johnson's May 10 announcement that the rules were being relaxed a little in England, including to allow people to drive to exercise.
That's not the case in Wales where people are still required not to drive other than to travel to work, if they can't work from home, or for essential trips to buy food, for example, or to help a vulnerable person.
Despite this, along Mumbles Road today at around 2pm, there was what's become a relatively rare sighting - a traffic jam.
The drivers caught up in it may have had valid reasons to be travelling at that time, but they were confronted with roadworks which have recently started up again on the junction near Mayals Road.
The works are part of Swansea Council’s Active Travel programme where funding provided by the Welsh Government is being used to boost pedestrian crossing facilities. There will be a new pedestrian crossing at the bottom of Mayals Road to help school children walking to and from West Cross to Bishop Gore Comprehensive School.
Since a number of England's lockdown restrictions were lifted, people have started to fill up some of its beauty spots.
Pictures showed a number of people on Western-super-Mare sunbathing on Wednesday, the hottest day of the year, in stark contrast to the situation in Wales.
In Wales, people are allowed to go out more than once a day for exercise as long as it is local, but they are not allowed to drive anywhere to work out, and sunbathing is not seen as an essential reason to leave home.
Exercise should usually involve walking, running or cycling and be taken alone, although pastimes such as fishing and golf are now permitted, as long as people don't drive and observe social distancing.
First Minister Mark Drakeford said: "Any exercise should start and end at home and not involve going a significant distance from home."
Those who are unable to exercise directly outside their homes, for example, people with health or mobility issues, may drive to the nearest convenient spot.
