Brazilian municipalities conduct traffic safety education programs

Municipalities in Brazil have implemented various traffic safety education initiatives to promote responsible behavior among citizens. In São João de Meriti, the Municipal Civil Guard organized a practical lesson for students at the Jansen Ferreira de Melo Municipal School. The activity utilized bicycles and a simulated traffic circuit, complete with signals, traffic lights, and pedestrian crossings, to teach children about safe circulation and maneuver signaling.

In João Pessoa, the Executive Superintendency of Urban Mobility (Semob-JP) conducted 53 educational actions across 41 neighborhoods during October. These efforts included pedagogical games in schools, puppet theater in community centers, and lectures at businesses. Specific initiatives included the ‘Sinalizando Sua Segurança’ campaign, which involves installing yellow reflective plates on bicycles, recycling carts, and horse-drawn carriages to reduce accident risks.
