Trucks off the VCI: it just started and there are already problems

TVI Notícias15 September 2026 at 14:12

The new traffic rule prohibiting unauthorized heavy goods trucks from circulating on the VCI (Via de Cintura Interna) of Porto got off to a problematic and controversial start this morning.

The PSP carried out a strong enforcement operation during the morning to apply the new measure restricting the circulation of heavy goods vehicles on that road.

The immediate implementation of the rule already raised questions and criticism, revealing difficulties in drivers and transport operators adapting to the new legislation.

Why this matters

This new rule directly affects logistics operators and transport companies that use the VCI, and may result in fines for those who don't comply. The PSP enforcement operation indicates that authorities are applying the measure rigorously from day one, alerting readers to the need to obtain authorization or find alternative routes.
