Roads in Portugal
Encyclopedia
Roads in Portugal are integrated in the Plano Rodoviário Nacional de 2000 (2000 National Roadway Plan), which describes the existing and planned network of portuguese
road
s.
The Plano Rodoviário Nacional de 2000 (PRN 2000), approved in 1998, has replaced the PRN 1985 (1985 National Roadway Plan), which itself replaced the PRN 1945 (1945 National Roadway Plan).
date back from 1843 and 1848, and were based on 18th century
plans which was based on connections between Lisbon
and strategical points of the country, and as a support for fluvial routes
. The precognized network was classified in 1850 as Estradas (Roads) and Caminhos (Paths), being Estradas classified as 1st and 2nd class, and Caminhos, routes of local interest.
In 1862, the road network (existing and projected) is classified as Estradas Reais (Royal Roads), of 1st (with direct or indirect (via railways, for instance) origin in Lisbon
) and 2nd Class, Estradas Distritais (District Roads) and Estradas Municipais (Municipal Roads), the latter being managed by the municipalities
.
In 1913, the Estradas Reais were renamed as Estradas Nacionais.
Despite these efforts of a constitution of a Road Network, many routes
were not clearly classified and the state of most roads was chaotic, and with the expansion of the automobile
in the 1920s
, new directions should be taken upon the Portuguese
road network.
In 1927, yet under the military dictatorship
, by Law nº 13 969 from 20 July 1927, the Junta Autónoma das Estradas (JAE) was created in order to study the state of the portuguese
road network. The preliminary report was clear to state that from the 16000 km of the national road network, 4000 km were to be completed, and 10000 km were in almost in ruin state.
The roads were then reclassified as Estradas Nacionais (1st and 2nd Class), Estradas Municipais and Caminhos Públicos (Public Paths), the latter two under municipalty management.
recognized the importance of the road network and which led to the elaboration, in 1945, of the first real National Roadway Plan, the Plano Rodoviário Nacional de 1945 (PRN 45) (Law nº 34 593 from 11 May 1945). By that date, the National and Municipal network, comprised 20500 km.
The 1945 National Roadway Plan, classified the national road network in Rede Fundamental (fundamental network) and Rede Complementar (complementary network), the latter served to support the fundamental network, the roads were classified accordindg to the following:
In 1961, a separated lesgislation (Law nº 2110, from 19 August 1961) upon municiapl roads defined new guidelines on construction, keeping and fiscalization on these road
s, and those were classified as following:
The Main Roads could be, by law, upgraded into 4 lanes with central separation
, if necessary. In fact this happened even before the PRN 1945 with the N7 (nowadays A5) between Lisbon
and the National Stadium
, completed in 1944, and in 1961 with the first 25 km of N1 road, between Lisbon
and Vila Franca de Xira
. The first urban highways have been built also in the 1960s
.
The road classes where identified by colour codes: red
for 1st class, blue
for 2nd class, green
for 3rd class, yellow
for Municipal Roads and brown
for Municipal Paths. The numbering distribution for main roads was according to the importance of its route in the network, and for N101 and over were numbered in a North
to South
growing fashion.
The extension of the road
s had noting with its class (except for branch road, which were usually short distance), existing 3rd class roads more than 100 km long, and Main Roads with as short as 8 km long, like the N7 highway
, now part of A5. The longest road of the 1945 Plan was N2, connecting Chaves to Faro
, with 740 km long.
According 1945 National Roadway Plan, there were 18 Main Roads, designated N1 through N18.
and on, many routes started to be assumed as somewhat outdated, so in 1972, Brisa
was set up in order to manage a projected network of highway
s, which by that time didn't reach an extension of 100 km. New branches of highway
s only after the Carnation Revolution
, like the branch Vila Franca de Xira
-Carregado
(1977), Carregado
-Aveiras de Cima
(1980), Condeixa-a-Nova
-Mealhada
(1982), which permitted bypassing the city centre of Coimbra
, Santa Maria da Feira-Carvalhos
(1980) and Albergaria-a-Velha
-Santa Maria da Feira (1983), all from A1 highway, as well as the extension of A2 highway into Setúbal
(between 1978 and 1979).
However the whole road network started to be assumed as more and more inadequate in order to properly serve the whole country.
In the eve of Portugal
integration into EEC
, the replacement for 1945 National Roadway Plan comes to the light by the Law 380/85, from 25 September, the Plano Rodoviário Nacional de 1985 (1985 National Roadway Plan) or PRN 85.
The road network would be again composed by the Rede Fundamental (fundamental network), composed of 9 Itinerários Principais (Principal Routes), designated IP1 through IP9, which totalized 2635 km:
The Itinerários Principais were set to be of restricted access, forbidding pedestrian
, animal
and bicycle
traffic, but exceptions could be accepted, specially for branches resulting from the reclassifications of former National Roads into IP network.
The road network was composed also by the Rede Complementar (Complementary Network), composed by 24 Itinerários Complementares (IC) and Other Roads (former National Roads not set for municipalization). Complementary Network was 4807 km long.
The PRN 85 established 24 Itinerários Complementares (Complementary Routes), designated IC1 through IC24, which totalized 2439 km:
The whole network totalized 9881 km, about 12000 km of 1945 National Roads were set for municipalization.
In 1993, it was proposed the reclassification of 600 km of roads in the IC newtwork and about 1700 km into Other Roads, but the optimization of the 1985 National Roadway Plan only came with the 2000 National Roadway Plan, which was initially proposed in 1996.
Like nowadays, during the application of 1985 National Roadway Plan, the highway
s received diferent classification according the characteristic of they been concessionated or not. So, although all portuguese motorways officially had an IP or IC classification, only concessionated highways received the Axx classification (whether tolled or not), while the other highways - non concessionated, and therefore, always non-tolled - were signalized as IPxx or ICxx. Because, until the 2000s, almost all concessionated highway
s were tolled, in that time, the diferent classification caused by the concession or not of the highway
s, usually coincided with the characteristic of an highway
be tolled or not, what could help the drivers, in that time, to know in advance what were the tolled highway
s and the non-tolled highway
s.
s.
The Road Network is defined, as following:
It should be noted that IP and IC roads, may have other designations, specially those integrated in the National Highway Network, where the "A" designation is preferred on traffic signage, except for some city or suburban highway
s.
Since its approval, the 2000 National Roadway Plan is a document that has known some updates, particularly in 1999 and in 2003.
word for motorways or freeways. Portugal
has about 3000 km of motorways crossing all the coast and connecting the main inland cities and towns. Several autoestradas are linked with the Spanish motorway system and, through Spain
, to the rest of Europe
.
During the 1990s
and early 2000s, Portugal
was the country with the greatest development in the motorway network in the European Union
. It had 316 km of motorways in 1990 and the number increased to 1242 km by 1999 and 2100 km by the end of 2007.
Each Autoestrada forms part or all of an IP or an IC. These are dedignated with an "A" code as well as an IP or an IC code, though they are typically known to motorists by the A designation. In addition, many of these roads are part of the European road network
, and so also carry an "E" designation, which may serve as reference for non-Portuguese drivers.
Label:
payment in Portugal
uses a pioneer electronic payment system, Via Verde
. The driver installs a small device on the front windshield that communicates electronically with Brisa
(the company responsible for managing most of the motorways in Portugal
). Since the payment is done electronically, it's quick to enter or leave the motorway, avoiding payment lines (which are still available (mostly) for drivers who haven't adhered to Via Verde
).
This system has won several prizes for its innovative form of paying for services.
IP1 and IP2 forms cross national, North
-South
routes, the first running by the west part of the country, but ending in the southeast border of Castro Marim
/Vila Real de Santo António and the second one by the east part, roughly close to the border with Spain
.
All other routes follow a West
-East
route, with the exception of IP3, that runs mostly North
-South
.
All Itinerários Principais except IP6 and IP9 are connected with Spain
. IP2 reaches Spain
by route of N103-7, in the region
of Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro
.
.
Each Regional Road mantains the number of the National Road or Municipal Road that originated it. Regional Roads are represented by the letter R. Because, in 1998, it was rejected, in a referendum
, a reform which consisted of the creation of 8 administrative regions in mainland Portugal, nowadays, some Regional Roads are administrated by Estradas de Portugal
, while others are administrated by portuguese
municipalities
.
municipalities
. These routes were created in 1961, and, over the years, many branches of National Routes had been municipalized. Some Municipal Routes created by the 1985 Plan, were renamed as National Roads or Regional Roads in the 2000 Plan.
