GNR soldiers will reinforce patrolling on Portuguese roads, especially those with the highest traffic, from today until Monday to guarantee the safety of all drivers traveling to the lands on the occasion of All Saints’ Day.
According to the GNR, the objective of the patrolling and inspection operation aims to “combat crime and reduce situations that constitute risky behavior in the context of road accidents, ensuring the fluidity of traffic in addition to supporting road users”.
In a statement, the GNR points out that during the period of the operation a high intensity of road traffic is expected and recommends that motorists drive prudently.
