Pedro Duarte makes 'extraordinarily positive' assessment of heavy vehicle ban on the VCI
The Porto City Council president reported that the first week of the ban on heavy goods vehicles without a destination in Porto or Vila Nova on the VCI motorway exceeded expectations, resulting in faster and more fluid traffic. The restriction applies to vehicles over 3,500 kg, three or more axes, and a height of 1.1 meters or more between 07:00 and 21:00 on weekdays, with exemptions for vehicles loading or unloading locally via prior digital registration.
