Seven deaths on roads recorded during campaign on use of security devices

Diário de Viseu15 September 2026 at 15:15

Seven people died on Portuguese roads between September 8 and 14, during an awareness campaign on the use of security devices. This number represents three fewer deaths than in the same period last year.

The campaign took place under the motto "Cinto-me vivo" and was carried out by the National Road Safety Authority (ANSR), in partnership with the National Republican Guard (GNR) and the Public Security Police (PSP). The security forces were responsible for enforcement on the roads during this period.

Why this matters

Portuguese readers who use the roads directly benefit from this type of campaign, as data shows a reduction in deaths when there is greater awareness of road safety. The comparison with the previous year allows for evaluating the effectiveness of prevention actions and encourages the adoption of safer behaviors on the road.
