Do you know how to navigate a roundabout? Mistakes can cost up to 600 euros

CNN Portugal14 September 2026 at 21:55

Traffic rules for roundabouts in Portugal were changed in 2014, but many drivers still don't master the correct lane to use at these intersections. TVI went to Viseu, one of the Portuguese cities with the most roundabouts, to analyze the most frequent mistakes made by drivers.

The television station sought to recall the traffic rules that can prevent accidents at roundabouts, one of the black spots of road safety in Portugal. Mistakes made at these intersections can have serious consequences for drivers and third parties.

Drivers who don't respect the traffic rules at roundabouts risk fines that can reach 600 euros. This financial penalty serves as a warning about the importance of knowing and correctly applying traffic regulations at this type of intersection.

Why this matters

All drivers in Portugal are affected by these rules, and ignorance can result in fines of up to 600 euros and accidents. The visit to Viseu, a city with a high concentration of roundabouts, allows identifying common error patterns that can apply nationwide.

Missing plane with five occupants in Colombia located

Rescue teams located on Monday the debris of a small Cessna T206 aircraft that crashed the previous day in a high mountain area in Colombia, with five occupants on board — the pilot and four members of a medical brigade from the Civil Air Patrol (PAC), a private organization that provides health services in remote areas. The aircraft had departed from Condoto, in the department of Chocó, bound for Bogotá, and lost contact a few minutes after takeoff. The accident investigation division of the Civil Aviation Authority confirmed the precise location of the impact site, and images from the Aerospace Force show wreckage of the fuselage on a steep mountain, but authorities have not yet reported whether there are survivors.
