This TikTok video is a time lapse of the famous Lombard Street in San Francisco. Lombard Street is a popular tourist attraction. Visitors line the streets waiting for a turn to drive down the curviest street in San Francisco. Lombard Street is typically packed with cars. This time lapse shows the dramatic decrease in tourism in San Francisco during the COVID-19 pandemic as Lombard Street is nearly empty.
