This Thursday, September 10, Coimbra experienced two important changes in its mobility. Rua da Sofia was cut off, which forced people to rethink their usual routes around the city. The question that arose was simple: how long does it take to get to Praça da República now with traffic?
To answer this question, a practical test was carried out on the streets of Coimbra. The goal was to understand the real impact of the closure of Rua da Sofia on the daily lives of drivers and residents.
The test sought to measure the altered travel times and assess the consequences of this intervention on the city's urban mobility. These changes come in a broader context of transformations in Coimbra's road circulation.
