Covid-19 was a pandemic that impacted many sectors of the world, including the transportation industry. Some implications for this sector were the shift from public to private modes, reduced traffic volume, and increased fatalities and speeds. Lockdown and unlock measures were announced globally to manage fluctuating Covid-19 cases. The scope of the current manuscript was to understand the implications of vehicular speeds in NCT Delhi during these phases. The data was collected using Google API from over fifty OD pairs spread geographically across Delhi. The speeds were extracted from travel times and were segregated into waves I (2020) and II (2021). The analysis included statistically evaluating the average rates during these waves and comparing them with the speeds during the odd–even policy implemented earlier. During the Covid waves, when the cases were at their highest, the average speeds observed were 40 km/h (wave I) and 36 km/h (wave II). Spatially, the average speeds spread across Delhi districts did not show much variation between waves I and II. Both waves’ speeds in the lockdown periods were higher than in the unlock periods. The speeds recorded during the Covid-19 waves exceeded the odd–even policy phase period speeds. The study gave mixed results and aimed to understand the changes a pandemic can bring for better future preparation.
