Scene at Gravelly Hill Interchange, aka Spaghetti Junction which is virtually deserted under Coronavirus lockdown, while far fewer vehicles pass overhead on 29th April 2020 in Birmingham, England, United Kingdom. The term Spaghetti Junction was originally used to refer to Gravelly Hill Interchange on the M6 motorway in an article published in the Birmingham Evening Mail on 1 June 1965 the journalist Roy Smith described plans for the junction as like a cross between a plate of spaghetti and an unsuccessful attempt at a Staffordshire knot. Coronavirus or Covid-19 is a new respiratory illness that has not previously been seen in humans. While much or Europe has been placed into lockdown, the UK government has put in place more stringent rules as part of their long term strategy, and in particular social distancing.
