Eerie videos show deserted M1 at Sheffield as drivers follow advice and stay at home

The M1 near Sheffield is looking dramatically different since lockdown measures were introduced.

This video shows an eerily quiet Junction 35 this afternoon (Sunday, May 3), when the motorway would normally be heaving.

It seems the majority of motorists are heeding the Government’s advice to stay at home and keep off the roads.

Dave Dickinson, of Sheffield Environmental, posted the video to Twitter, adding: “Hopefully most of these are key workers or they've been out for something essential.”
