Coimbra will have 'eyes' to read license plates and control who can enter

Notícias de Coimbra3 September 2026 at 11:39

The Coimbra City Council intends to install an automatic license plate reading system on access roads to new streets with traffic. The system will work through cameras that will be able to read the license plates of vehicles entering and exiting, thus allowing greater control over who can circulate in certain areas of the city.

This system aims to control access to certain areas, ensuring that only authorized vehicles can enter. The automatic license plate recognition technology will allow vehicles to be identified quickly and efficiently.

The Coimbra municipality is investing in this technological solution to improve urban traffic management and reinforce security in the covered areas. The system will be implemented as part of a broader strategy for modernizing urban management in the city.
