Transport councilor from Gaia City Hall considers that new rules on VCI are not a "silver bullet"

RTP Notícias15 September 2026 at 09:30

The transport councilor from Gaia Municipal Council considered that the prohibition of trucks on VCI without destination to the cities of Porto and Gaia is not a perfect solution. This position follows the implementation of new rules on this route.

The municipal councilor expressed skepticism regarding the effectiveness of this measure to solve traffic problems on VCI. The prohibition was implemented with the aim of reducing heavy vehicle traffic that does not have the two cities as its destination.

The councilor from Gaia expressed his opinion on the new rules during a public statement. His position reflects a cautious view regarding the impact of the adopted measures.

Why this matters

Readers in the Greater Porto region are directly affected by traffic conditions on VCI, one of the main urban routes. The councilor's position indicates that the approved measure may not solve congestion problems, leaving open the question of which solutions are most effective. This statement may influence the public debate on mobility policies in the region.
