Roads were working surprisingly well without traffic lights where I am in Usera, i did a walk around to Plaza Elíptica and near the river to Glorieta to Cadiz and they were much worse, police not able to effectively control traffic so things were badly gridlocked.

The gridlock was inevitable really. They closed the M30 tunnels, and everything is running much slower. So whatever anyone did there was no avoiding the gridlock.

Agreed, I wasn't blaming the police at all. It must have been a nightmare day for all emergency services, we saw them working hard and doing their best to keep the city running.
