Heavy vehicles not destined for Porto or Gaia prohibited on the VCI from today

Now15 September 2026 at 09:22

From today, heavy vehicles not destined for Porto or Vila Nova de Gaia are prohibited from circulating on the VCI (Inner Ring Road). This restriction specifically applies to large vehicles that do not have these two cities as their destination, aiming to reduce through traffic on the road.

The measure was accompanied by the installation of vertical signage on the VCI entry roads, alerting drivers to the new prohibition. This signage aims to inform motorists in advance about the restriction in effect.

Enforcement of this prohibition will be carried out by the PSP (Public Security Police) and the GNR (National Republican Guard), the security forces responsible for ensuring compliance with the new rule on the Inner Ring Road.

Why this matters

Heavy vehicle drivers who intend to cross the Porto Metropolitan Area without destination to the city will have to use alternative routes to the VCI, which may imply changes to usual routes and longer travel time. This measure aims to reduce truck traffic inside the city, benefiting urban mobility and the quality of life of residents in Porto and Gaia.

Tehran will only negotiate with the US when conditions are met

Iran announced that it will only negotiate with the United States when its conditions are met, thus reacting to the statements by President Donald Trump, who on Monday stated he was willing to dialogue with Tehran. The Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Mohsen Rezaei, stressed that "there will be no negotiations until Iran's conditions are met," also calling on people not to be distracted by Washington's "contradictory signals." The context of this tension dates back to the Islamabad memorandum, signed in June between Tehran and Washington, which provided for the cessation of hostilities and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, whose blockade was broken by the US in July after Iranian attacks on oil tankers.

Kiev attacks Russian refinery after US agreement announcement

Ukraine attacked a refinery in Russia's Samara region, hours after Donald Trump announced that Kyiv and Moscow had agreed to refrain from attacking each other's energy infrastructure. The attack involved more than 40 drones being shot down, causing damage to an industrial facility and residential buildings. President Zelensky conditioned the truce on guarantees that Russia would also halt bombings against Ukraine's electrical system, energy infrastructure, and food logistics, expressing doubts about Moscow's compliance with the agreement. During the same night, Ukrainian forces also attacked the Rostov region, damaging an Ozon logistics center and the Beriev aircraft factory.
