Road changes in Funchal during the RVM competition
Funchal’ s City Hall has already approved the Nitice with the road changes in Funchal during the days of the Rali Vinho da Madeira. Bruno Pereira, councilman responsible for the traffic division, explained in detail the different changes for each moment of the competition, as we can see in the following images.
José Paulo Fontes, President of the Organizing Committee of Rali Vinho da Madeira, in advance apologised the population for any issues while getting access and driving in Funchal, although highlighting that “such changes are due to an extraordinary international event that promotes Madeira, but, and above all, it’s an event that many Madeiran live intensely”.
This year’s centralized edition of RVM in Funchal was a challenge given to Club Sports da Madeira by Pedro Calado, the City Hall’s Mayor, who recalls that the priority “was to bring together the interests of everyone: sports, economic, as well as social, as no one will be left behind”.
There was the concern of the City Hall to avoid the closure of the roads for a long period of time, as the only road closed during such days will be Avenida Sá Carneiro, with alternative roads on each East and West areas.
Pedro Calado states that “the road changes will not influence the regular traffic”.
