Hi,
It seems that COVID is likely to result in some rapid changes to road
networks, which OSM will need to capture.

I saw a tweet today of the area around the Bank of England, and a road
is now one way with a cycle lane the other way. Obviously I can't
survey that right now, but Google Maps traffic layer is showing it.
Really it needs someone to do a survey (unless we can use the City of
London documentation).

More generally, I guess we will all need to keep an eye on proposals
from each council. For example, here is a tweet from last month about
50 modal filters (road closures) in just Croydon and Lambeth:

the scale of the task here.
