24 hours after the new rules: car filmed driving against traffic on Rua da Sofia

Notícias de Coimbra11 September 2026 at 14:52

A car was filmed driving against traffic on Rua da Sofia in Coimbra on the morning of Friday, October 11. The wrong-way driving was captured on video, showing the vehicle ignoring the traffic rules established for that road.

The incident occurred just 24 hours after the implementation of new traffic rules on that street. The authorities had established updated guidelines for traffic on Rua da Sofia, which apparently were not yet being followed by all drivers.

The video of the moment the car drove against traffic was shared, highlighting the irregular situation. Local authorities face the challenge of enforcing the new rules among drivers who continue to ignore the signage.
