This Signaled Lane in Viseu Can It Be Used for Parking? SIC Verifica Checks

SAPO Notícias28 August 2026 at 16:00

On Rua 21 de Agosto, in Viseu, there is a lane specifically marked for pedestrians and bicycles. However, this infrastructure has been frequently occupied by parked vehicles, which contradicts its signage.

The situation was reported to SIC via an email, which gave rise to a verification by the SIC Verifica program. The television station decided to investigate whether parking by these vehicles on that lane is legally permitted.

The article raises the question about the correct use of this marked space, questioning whether drivers are complying with traffic rules by parking on a lane intended for pedestrians and bicycles. SIC Verifica seeks to clarify the applicable norms to this specific situation in Viseu.

Baltic countries create joint drone defense force

The countries surrounding the Baltic Sea will create a joint force for drone defense, in a German-led initiative to respond more quickly to the growing threat of hybrid attacks and airspace incursions in the region. The measure comes after several sabotage incidents involving critical infrastructure since 2022 and after the discovery of drones with explosives at Leipzig airport, which serves as a logistics base for NATO operations in Ukraine. The German Interior Minister warned that foreign powers try daily to attack democracy and security within the EU, and that the hybrid threat is "omnipresent". The force aims to facilitate rapid information exchange and enable a coordinated response among the ten participating countries.
