Rio de Janeiro urban mobility and traffic safety initiatives

Overview

Rio de Janeiro has implemented several measures to improve urban mobility and traffic safety. The state legislature approved Law No. 11.240/26, which authorizes new signage and markings for coastal bike lanes, particularly in Leblon, to address a rise in cyclist injuries. Simultaneously, the city expanded dedicated motorcycle lanes (motofaixas) on major corridors to organize traffic.

Following these legislative and infrastructure developments, a new 7.2-kilometer leisure bike lane was inaugurated along the South Zone waterfront, spanning Leblon, Ipanema, and Copacabana. This lane operates on Sundays and holidays. To manage the new infrastructure, authorities have established inspection posts to monitor speed limits, using dynamometers to test electric bicycles and other self-propelled vehicles as part of an educational enforcement period.
