This is the first of 12 awareness and inspection campaigns planned for this year, to be carried out monthly, said the PSP in a statement.

As part of the “Travel without Haste” campaign, ANSR will carry out awareness-raising actions throughout the country, while inspection operations, “with a special focus on roads and accesses with high traffic flow”, are the responsibility of the Public Security Police and the GNR.

Excessive speed “is one of the main causes of accidents on the roads”, being responsible for “a third of all fatal accidents”, as well as “for more than 60% of registered infractions”.
