Taking place between the 7th and 13th of May, this campaign "aims to alert drivers to the negative and even fatal consequences of improper use of a cell phone while driving".


Awareness-raising actions will take place simultaneously with inspection operations in the following locations:

  • May 7th, at 9:30 am: IC2 - Km 33.4, Lisbon (39.049696, -8.993823);
  • May 8th, at 3pm: Rua Coronel Armando da Silva Maçanita, Portimão (37.147670, -8.542525);
  • May 9th, at 8:00 am: Almodôvar Service Area – North/South Direction (37.535877, -8.184205);
  • May 10th, at 10:00 am: Avenida Lino de Carvalho, Évora (38.578304, -7.902009);
  • May 13th, at 2:00 pm: EN18 - Km 171.100, Portalegre (39.297784, -7.448546)


The police highlight that at 50 km/h, looking at your cell phone for three seconds is the same as driving a distance of 42 meters blindfolded - the equivalent of a queue of 10 cars.
