Reducing traffic

Following a six-month trial period which yielded satisfactory results, the government has decided to make Rua de D. Belchior Carneiro only available for the unloading of tourist passengers starting from June 1, a release from the Transport Bureau (DSAT) yesterday reveals.
In order to study ways to reduce traffic near the Ruins of St Paul’s, the government implemented the new policy in December, with Rua de D. Belchior Carneiro now to only be used for unloading passengers every day from 8:00am to 8:00pm.
Rua de S. Roque, Rua do Volong and the church of Saint Lazarus sidewalk will also be changed into pedestrian-only areas.
