Trucks prohibited from circulating on the VCI in Porto

RTP Notícias15 September 2026 at 14:10

Trucks are prohibited from circulating on the Inner Ring Road (VCI) in the city of Porto. The ban applies during the period between 7 in the morning and 9 at night, limiting the circulation of these heavy vehicles for most of the day. This measure aims to restrict truck traffic on the main ring road of Porto, affecting freight transport in the region.

Why this matters

Porto residents will be directly affected by the reduction in heavy traffic, expecting improvements in air quality and noise reduction in the city. Transport operators will have to plan alternative routes, potentially increasing travel times and logistics costs. The measure follows a trend of several European cities that restrict heavy vehicle access to urban areas to protect public health.
