At this point I don't think there is much difference.

Yes, traffic is lighter and you should take the precautions that many are now taking when in public places. Try to minimize contact with people and objects that have the possibility of being infected. But those things are true whether you are in your home area on the road.

I went boating yesterday in Naples Florida and it seemed like a normal day. The usual amount of boats and people, and even tour boats were out on the water. Before I went I called a boat rental place with about 25 boats in their fleet just to find out what was going on. They told me it was business as usual and they were sold out for the day. I got the last parking space at the Naples public boat launch.

I think the response to the virus varies depending upon the area of the country you are in so if you are travelling a long way you will see different levels of response along your route.
