You are in a new country and feel that your kid needs protection, which is perfectly human, but does mean that your opinion is a bit biased.

As sibling comments mention, countries exist with many cameras, public or private, where driving feels worse. I didn't look at road deaths, but I'd be surprised if Portugal is among the leading countries on this.

Equally, if you take a bit of distance, you can realise that Portugal has many other parents living there, yet they are not clamouring for more surveillance: it's difficult to imagine that the Portuguese dictatorial government is evilly preventing its people from accessing the benefits of surveillance.

2024 stats, road accident fatalities, per million inhabitants:

Portugal: 58 Romania (highest in EU): 78 EU overall: 44 Sweden (lowest in EU): 20

So, depending on where OP is from, Portugal could seem a bit more dangerous or wildly more dangerous than their home county.
