Municipal clean‑up and mobility actions keep expanding across Brazil, now reinforced by additional traffic‑safety hardware, data‑driven security programmes and climate‑response operations. Road‑safety upgrades continue in cities that have already refreshed markings and signals: fresh horizontal paint in Caicó, new electronic speed‑radar units and speed‑bump systems in Indaiatuba, Campo Grande, Manaus and São Gonçalo, and a bike‑patrol programme in Campina Grande. São Bernardo’s guard runs 30 bicycles, while São Bernardo and other municipalities add modernised bus stations and traffic lights, such as at Campo Grande’s 25 de Dezembro‑Maracaju junction. Goiânia’s redesign of Praça Ciro Lisita halved a roundabout, adding signals and pedestrian lights, with officials expecting a 30 % flow improvement.

Ahead of large running events, the Santander Night Run will start in Florianópolis on 1 August with 5‑km and 10‑km illuminated courses, and a 5 km race is set for 19 November in Santos’s historic centre. Both cities will close streets, reroute dozens of bus lines and urge drivers to follow navigation‑app advisories.

New municipal projects broaden the safety and transport agenda: Salvador launches “Salvador Segura”, installing up to 10 000 AI‑enabled cameras; Patos de Minas bans parking on a key street to ease flow; Paranaguá renews 80 % of its bus fleet with air‑conditioning, Wi‑Fi and onboard monitoring; Araraquara studies designated stops for app‑based drivers; Marabá widens a roundabout and a 140‑m road segment; Botucatu resumes its EducaTran traffic‑safety education programme; Santarém adds pedestrian‑crossing markings; Natal rolls out a safe‑traffic campaign ahead of new corridor monitoring; Maricá opens an audiovisual studio and registers participants for free tech courses under the AGORA project; Limeira begins a Google for Education rollout for over 24 000 students. These initiatives reinforce a nationwide push for safer, more efficient urban mobility.
