    They may close streets but it makes sense to save money to just film the cars that are there if they’re just doing a short wide shot of the street.

    Seems like overkill to hire 20 cars just to fill a street for a TV show if its a single establishing shot. Although no doubt they would do that for any scene being taken from multiple angles for continuity.

      I’ve also seen them slap fake number plates on parked cars. E.g. when they were filming in Metro Vancouver area, for some US movie/TV show, they put California plates on all local cars that were parked on streets/driveways
