As reopening moves to phase 2, many restaurants have decided to allow to sit in dining. However, since enclosed spaces have a higher risk of virus transmission than outdoor spaces, Santa Barbara city has taken a special approach. Santa Barbara's bustling State Street has been shut down so that restaurants can place their seating, either a part or all of it outside, right on the street. This is a unique scene of people eating at restaurants, but seated on the roads previously meant for cars.
