The PS (Socialist Party) expressed great concern over the deaths on Porto's roads, considering the numbers "absolutely terrifying." This position arose within the context of the discussion about the city's Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan.
According to the data presented in the Plan, road accidents caused the death of 38 people in Porto between 2018 and 2023. This number represents an average of more than six deaths per year on the city's roads during this five-year period.
The Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan, which includes this data on road accidents, was submitted for public consultation this Tuesday. The document aims to establish guidelines for mobility in the city and identifies road safety as one of the main concerns to be addressed.
The publication of this data occurs at a time when the future of mobility in Porto is being discussed, with the Plan seeking to find solutions to reduce accidents on the city's roads.
