Lancaster is now on lockdown. Does this mean I can't go to my cabin in Huntingdon?  Always take the turnpike.

York on lockdown too. Business as usual for me since I'm still working. Everything that was open all this week will still be open. They are just trying to crack down on everyone running around looking for things to do and breaking up groups of people I guess. This whole shut down is a joke as far as keeping people in.

a lot of movement up here on the edge of Lackawanna and Wayne....but I'm an essential employee so work is business as usual.

I'm in Fayette and go up into Westmorland, things are pretty normal here, restaurants / bars seem like to only thing shut down.  Not hearing of anyone getting pulled over.

Lancaster county here.  "Locked down".

One building where I work is closed.  We may follow shortly.  I have my papers from the Ministry of Travel and Containment but that doesn't help on the weekend if I'm nowhere near home or work.  

I'm gonna go drive around just to see what happens.

ETA: Plenty of people waking around the neighborhood.  Grocery store's parking lots look normal.  Traffic was a little lighter than usual but not unheard of for a cold, rainy Saturday.

Thats because the police dont know those vehicles are an essential  business.   once they figure out what those industry specific vehicles look like, you wont have that issue.
Nice thing is, they dont stop any of us for speeding and the scales are closed.


They have been stopping people walking in DT Pittsburgh asking for theirs for a week.

I work in LE......in Luzerne County.....and we are at "stay at home"............not lock down, but no one is pulling anyone over asking for papers. I scan several zones besides the one I'm working in and again, no one is pulling anyone over. And the "asking for papers" isn't happening either as there would be no way to verify that the supposed company issuing the the "papers" is legit........or that the person holding them is really an "essential" person.

Anyone with a computer can whip up an "official looking paper" in 5 minutes. And no papers are needed to go to the store, the gas station, etc. So why even bother pulling someone over when they can say they are running down to the local gas/convenience store to pick up a gallon of milk.

No county is "locked down". It's requested to stay at home. No one is being stopped because they are out and no "permission slips" are needed for anything.

Luzerne County is one of the counties where people are requested to stay at home.

This is copied from Commonwealth of PA web site in regards to the  virus;

Are people going to be cited for leaving their homes?

No. People will not be cited for leaving their homes.

Additionally, people are not required to carry written authorization to travel for the purposes allowed under the order.

Wolf has 33 countys on lockdown and has ordered people to stay home.

There is   no request.

essential workers carry papers because the cops ARE questioning us.
Maybe you need to tell your cop buddies to stop the fishing.

They pull over trucks all the time at the south bound 79 between Labratory and Lone Pine at the old rest stop.

Not for the past two weeks.
That old rest stop is where the southbound weigh station is located since they started the construction between bridgeville and Southpoint. It used to be in the rest stop there...

What you are seeing is totally normal.  It happens on every highway, everyday, except in the rain. DOT cops rarely work in the rain.

We have tons of trucks and chase cars doing numerous trips all over the east coast. No stops or checkpoints or anything going on.

Maybe just one local department but it’s def not legal.

Hell even if stopped you can just say you are going out for food or going for a walk in the woods. No papers needed for that.

While people should stay home unless essential or need to go to an essential business, what that cop did was trolling for revenue.  Low risk driving like that woman was doing should not require any government intervention.  I do hear people railing down 581 on bikes and even performance cars (I never hear traffic from 581) taking advantage of the traffic free roads and that behavior should be stopped because the chances of them crashing and further burdening the hospitals/emergency response.

I live near the DE/PA border and DSP has multiple checkpoints set up and are pulling over anyone with out of state plates and turning them around.  They're also in shopping center parking lots telling people to get back in their cars and shop in their home state under threat of arrest.  Covered on the news as well.

Let me guess, the shopping center just off Route 92 (Naamans Road) with the Total Wine, Home Depot, KFC/Taco Bell, Wawa and Tobacco Express, right?    Everything a body needs in one place!

Negative, though that Boothwyn/Claymont area is being shown in news coverage as an example.  I don't drink alcohol, but I know of people in PA who drive 30 minutes every week just to go to that Total Wine.

I go walking at least 4 times a day. Nobody better say a thing, unless Mr. Wolf wants to clean up the dog poop and pee in my apartment. Besides, I'm finally getting the exercise I need.

I drive 6 days a week, average an hour each way. I have my letter stating I do home nursing, I'm good. But I haven't seen anybody pulled over, nobody from our company has been stopped, and haven't even seen any popo on the roads lately.

I'm in a similar boat. Family cabin about an hour and a half away, needs some work and if it's going to be done this year the first part I need to do is time-sensitive. I wouldn't think anything of it really except that I'm probably going to be pulling a small backhoe on a trailer so I can't just say I'm going to the grocery store.

I'll probably still go for it though.

Saw a PSP Trooper in WaWa this morning, he said some areas there are people being pulled over, but not many and not in my area anyway. He seemed like he didn't like the idea, but admitted there was some stops being made.

Don't know if I'd want to head towards the hottest area in the country. I guess if you don't come into contact with anyone, while up there, you should be GTG.
