This Friday morning brought with it a significant increase in traffic in the city of Funchal, on Madeira, with some congestion on the main roads. The article title alerts to the Rotunda do Hospital as the paradigmatic location of the start of the new school year, suggesting that this point becomes especially problematic with the return of school activities.
The congestion occurs on the usual route, from the Cancela junction to the Pestana Júnior junction, along the Via Rápida. This stretch is identified as the location where traffic problems typically concentrate during this period.
Furthermore, the situation extends to the exit from the Via Rápida, on Liberdade Road, which leads precisely to the Rotunda do Hospital. This convergence point thus appears as one of the main sources of slow-moving traffic on Friday morning.
