Do you see this sign on the road? There are cases where parking in these zones can result in fines

The "Kiss and Go" or "Kiss & Ride" zones, like the "Beijinho e Siga" initiative implemented by the Municipality of Sesimbra, are intended for quick stops to pick up or drop off passengers, especially near schools. Although the inscription on these signs does not constitute, by itself, an autonomous infraction under the Road Code, parking in these zones can result in fines when specific rules are violated, such as double parking (30 to 150 euros), exceeding time limits, or blocking access to properties (60 to 300 euros). The distinction between stopping and parking is fundamental: remaining inside the vehicle while waiting does not automatically constitute legal stopping, as the classification depends on the specific conditions of the location and the existing signage.
