BROCKTON No, traffic levels are not back to normal.
The Old Colony Planning Council (OCPC) studied traffic trends between 2019 and 2020, finding a stark contrast in traffic pre-pandemic compared to traffic during the pandemic.

And though traffic has somewhat rebounded from spring lows, it has not returned to pre-pandemic levels and has seen a subsequent dip.
The data for this project was extracted from eight routes ranging from Randolph to Plymouth, to MassDOT’s MS2 Transportation Data Management System website.
