Car-free day Car-free day

Marinha Grande carries out a Car-Free Day 2009 and closes off one or more streets to traffic, and opens it to pedestrians, cyclists and public transport.

Zone opened to residents on Car-Free Day:
A ZSTA é basicamente constituída por dois eixos viários localizados no denominado Centro Tradicional da Marinha Grande, e por isso mesmo eixos onde diariamente circulam inúmeros veículos motorizados: Rua 18 de Janeiro de 1934 e Rua Infante D. Henrique. Na proximidade de ambas encontra-se um conjunto significativo de equipamentos e serviços públicos (por ex: a Câmara Municipal, a Biblioteca, o Arquivo Municipal, o Museu do Vidro), mas também extensas zonas de espaço público reabilitadas nomeadamente no âmbito do URBCOM e do POLIS.
