This National Road Safety Management Capacity Review, therefore, was prepared by the World Bank, with the support of the Global Road Safety Facility (GRSF). The primary objective of the review is to evaluate the multi-sectoral capacity of road safety management in Brazil, identifying possible road safety challenges and presenting recommendations to address these challenges. The methodology of the review, in accordance with the guidelines of the World Bank Global Road Safety Facility, focused on examinations of key functional aspects of road safety, including institutions, legislation, financing, information, and capacities at all levels of government and among non-government actors. The review was prepared mainly based on interviews of key road safety stakeholders at the federal, state, and municipal levels, members of parliament, NGOs, and the private sector, in addition to direct inspection of roads and on-road behaviors, and the analysis of published research and reports on road safety. In addition, information and understanding gained from previous reviews of the states of São Paulo, Rio Grande do Sul, and Bahia were also incorporated.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOPOPULATION DENSITIESMOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTSTRANSPORT SECTORALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTVEHICLE REGISTRATIONPASSENGERSCROSSINGSMOTORCYCLE USECOST OF TRAFFICCONGESTION CHARGESROAD ACCIDENTSROAD DESIGNSTRANSPORT MODETRAFFIC FLOWTRENDROAD SAFETY EXPERTSBLOOD ALCOHOL LEVELJOURNEYINLAND WATERWAYSTOLLCYCLISTSROAD INFRASTRUCTUREIMPACT SPEEDRURAL HIGHWAYSROAD MAINTENANCESAFETY IMPROVEMENTSSEAT BELTWEALTHAIRROAD CRASH DEATHSVEHICLE CRASHESTRANSPORT MODESDISABILITIESTRAFFIC ENFORCEMENTTRAVEL SPEEDSCRASHESSEAT BELT WEARINGTRANSPORTATION PROJECTSTRAFFIC LAW ENFORCEMENTPEDESTRIAN TRAFFICRAIL TRANSPORTAIR POLLUTIONRIDERSTRAININGCRASH RATESCRASH RISKCRASH TYPESFUEL USECRASH PROTECTIONPUBLIC ROADSFUEL CHARGESBICYCLE SAFETYDRIVER BEHAVIORROAD WIDTHINTERSECTIONSROAD QUALITYSUBSIDIESTRAFFIC CRASHESINFRASTRUCTURELAND USEBUSESDRIVINGCONGESTIONTRANSPORTATIONTRAFFIC INJURIESINSPECTIONVEHICLE CRASHPOLICIESTRANSPARENCYTRUCKSTRAFFIC SPEEDSCARSROAD TOLLROAD SAFETY ACTIONROAD USELAND TRANSPORTTRAFFIC RULESARTERIAL ROADSHEAVY VEHICLESFOSSIL FUELCRASH DATATRAFFIC PSYCHOLOGYRED LIGHTSTATE HIGHWAYSTRANSPORTATION SYSTEMSRAILWAYHIGHWAYSEMERGENCY SERVICESTRAFFIC EDUCATIONVEHICLE ACCIDENTSMINISTRY OF TRANSPORTTAXI DRIVERSMUNICIPAL ROADROAD USERROADSCARLOCAL ROADSCROSSINGWALKINGBLOOD ALCOHOLBICYCLISTSBICYCLE HELMETSDRIVER LICENSINGHIGH TRAFFIC VOLUMEAIR TRANSPORTCRASH VICTIMSSPEED LIMITSINJURY PREVENTIONECONOMIES OF SCALEPEDESTRIANBUS STOPSFATALITIESRAILFUELSEAT BELT USEPEDESTRIAN CROSSINGINJURY CRASHLANESTRANSPORT SYSTEMFATALITY RATECRASH COSTSPEDESTRIAN CROSSINGSALCOHOL CONTENTMOTORCYCLISTSROAD TRANSPORTPUBLIC TRANSPORTATIONALTERNATIVE TRANSPORT MODESCRASH RATETIRESVULNERABLE ROAD USERSFREIGHTROAD TRAFFICCOLLISION SEVERITYAUTOMOBILEROAD DEATHSSPACE FOR PEDESTRIANSMOTORISTSSAFETY INITIATIVESTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTUREVEHICLESCRASH SEVERITYTRANSPORTATION RESEARCHBICYCLE USEINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTFATAL INJURIESROADWAYBICYCLESTRAFFICTAXROUTESHEAVY TRAFFICSAFE CROSSINGVEHICLE USEBUS LANESHEAVY VEHICLETRAFFIC CASUALTYTRAFFIC VOLUMEDRIVERSSPEEDSSPEED LIMITTRAFFIC MANAGEMENTPOLICE REPORTSPUBLIC SECURITYROADSIDE FURNITUREVEHICLESIGNAGEACCIDENT RISKROADVEHICLE MANUFACTURERSCOSTSROAD DESIGNBICYCLE LANESROAD NETWORKTRANSPORTSTRANSPORTROAD SHOULDERSAFETY IMPACTSMOBILITYTRAFFIC SAFETYROAD USERSTRAFFIC DEATHSNATIONAL TRAFFICTRUEEMERGENCY RESPONSEROAD SAFETY PROGRAMSSUBURBSTRANSPORT REGULATIONRURAL ROADSTRANSPORT POLICYTRAFFIC ACCIDENTSSAFETY LEGISLATIONINJURYCAR MARKETMODAL SHIFTNATIONAL ROAD TRAFFICTRUCK DRIVERSBUS TRANSPORTTRAFFIC ENGINEERINGBUSSUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTINITIATIVESROAD HAULAGEROAD TYPESTRAVELAFFORDABLE TRANSPORTROAD MANAGEMENTVEHICLE FLEETTRANSPORT RESEARCHPOLICEROAD SAFETYPEDESTRIAN SAFETYSAFETY FUNDINGSAFETY INSPECTIONSMEANS OF TRANSPORTSAFE VEHICLESVEHICLE SAFETYMOTOR VEHICLEPOPULATION DENSITYMOTOR VEHICLESPUBLIC TRANSPORTFATAL CRASHESTOLL ROADSVEHICULAR TRAFFICSIGNALSHIGHWAY NETWORKBRIDGEDRUNK DRIVINGSAFETY CHECKSHIGHWAYDRIVER TRAININGVEHICLE KILOMETERSRIDERACCIDENTSBUS LANETRAFFIC ACCIDENTVEHICLE MANUFACTURINGSEAT BELTSINVESTMENTSPRIVATE VEHICLERIGHT OF WAYSAFETY ISSUESPEDESTRIANSDRIVING TIMEVEHICLE OCCUPANTSHELMET USEURBAN ROADSSAFETYPASSENGER TRANSPORTFATALITYFINANCIAL INCENTIVESReportWorld Bank10.1596/23811
