Testimonies and complaints about Avenida Marginal

Resident, Cruz Quebrada / Dafundo

In the Cruz Quebrada and Dafundo area, residents have long reported intense noise, speeding and motorcycle racing, especially at night and in the early hours. Several complaints are said to have been submitted to the authorities, without visibly stopping the repetition of the problem.

Resident, Dafundo

Some residents say they avoid using Avenida Marginal at night and instead take the inland road, because the sense of insecurity has become too strong. The feeling described is that this is a known problem for both residents and authorities, but one that still lacks an effective and sustained response.

Resident, São João do Estoril

In the São João stretch towards Lisbon-Cascais, residents describe extreme speeds, daytime and nighttime racing, dangerous manoeuvres and modified exhaust noise. Some have documented incidents and already raised the issue in interviews and institutional forums.

Resident, Santo Amaro de Oeiras / Parque Oceano

In Santo Amaro de Oeiras, residents report that for more than one or two years they have been dealing with frequent high-speed pass-bys, especially involving large motorcycles, with what they describe as unbearable noise. The situation has already led to condominium mobilisation, petition sharing and formal complaints to the authorities.

Resident, São Pedro do Estoril

In São Pedro do Estoril, residents report that for several years they have faced dangerous driving, motorcycle and car stunts, intense night-time noise and very high speeds, both on Avenida Marginal and in nearby parking and beach-access areas. There are also repeated references to contacts with the municipality, parish authorities and other entities, without what residents consider an adequate response.
