For what it's worth I think that the idea of increasing the price of fuel and lowering speed limits to deter travel will hit the wrong people. Key workers such as the NHS, lorry drivers (train drivers too!), refuse collection workers, supermarket workers, all continue to work through this, often at unsociable hours going to out of the way locations that couldn't be accessed via public transport. I think the dip in fuel costs should be allowed to be treated by them as one small perk of this whole horrid situation, and perhaps give a small amount of thanks to those who continue to work through this, often in front of Joe Public sneezing and coughing all over them.
In the same vein I'm not sure lowering speed limits is the answer either. Slowing people either going to or from work and extending their working day seems silly in my opinion. By all means question people's journey if you must but certainly don't delay them through speed limit alterations.
