Brazil municipalities implement diverse traffic safety and education programs

Various Brazilian municipalities are implementing diverse traffic safety and education initiatives. In Rio de Janeiro, CET-Rio has launched the ‘A Caminho da Escola 3.0’ program, which uses tactical urbanism to transform temporary safety measures into permanent infrastructure, such as sidewalks and raised crossings, based on community feedback. Additionally, CET-Rio is managing special traffic operations for a Flamengo vs. Cruzeiro match at the Maracanã, involving road closures and parking restrictions.

In Indaiatuba, the ‘Bombeiro na Escola’ program recently graduated students from municipal schools, providing training in first aid and fire prevention. Meanwhile, in João Pessoa, Semob-JP is conducting playful educational activities for young children to instill responsible traffic habits. In Ubatuba, the Municipal Civil Guard conducted an educational blitz reaching approximately 400 people to promote safe crossings. Finally, in Copacabana, authorities are replacing digital parking signs that were recently vandalized.
