Is Adding Vias on the Output of a 3.3V Linear Regulator a Good PCB Design Practice?

Hey guys! [Please see picture attached ] Request you to comment on my idea of adding vias in my PCB design on the output of the 3v3 linear voltage regulator. Although there is no high current requirement, I still did this just to have a good design. Is this a good rule to follow?

    JP7 is a solder bridge to “enable” power to microcontroller

    Hello @bruce_wayne5006 there is not need adding vΓ­as there, since they are both on the top layer and the connection is straight forward

  3. bruce_wayne#0000

    This is not only for the diode. My question is more about a β€œgood design practise”.
    So are you saying this is unnecessary even as a good design practise?
    Thanks

  4. Afuevu#0000

    It is unnecessary, vias are required to link signals or power from one plane to another. If you are not linking from a plane to another it is not necessary. It is not a good design practice
