PS Demands Structural Response for Funchal Traffic and Reiterates Urgency of Municipal Police

The Socialist Party advocates for comprehensive planning for Funchal's mobility and insists on the creation of a Municipal Police force.

PS councilor Rui Caetano reiterated at the City Council meeting the urgency for a structural response to Funchal's mobility and traffic management.

According to the councilor, isolated interventions such as creating BUS lanes or placing bollards are insufficient to solve the serious circulation problems. The party advocates for global planning that articulates traffic, public transport, parking, and the pressure from rental vehicles.

The PS believes that establishing a Municipal Police force would be the most efficient solution for managing traffic with proximity and rigor, as well as ensuring greater safety and quality of life.
