Common questions on rental process
Pedestrians are also distinguished by diligent compliance with traffic regulations. They may start crossing the road in the wrong place or at the red light, without paying any attention to multiple honking cars. When approaching a crossroads, it is better to slow down and take a closer look around.
The number of cars in Portugal is very large. This is connected with the fact that the Portuguese try to avoid group rides in everyday life, preferring private cars. Quite often, each family member has his own car. This is one of the reasons why there is such a shortage of parking spaces, and why the traffic is so heavy.
The rich choice of underground parking lots somewhat eases the situation. The number of underground parking areas increases every year in Portugal. You will find it almost impossible to find a free parking space on the street in the daytime.
