Abstract

Currently, traffic is a major cause of unnatural deaths worldwide, according to the World Health Organization only in our country, the Avante Brazil Institute estimates that since 1980 there were over 1,090,801 traffic deaths. In 2002 37,018 people died by the year 2013 this number increased to 60 752 deaths, pedestrians and motorcyclists being the main victims. It is, therefore, an increase of almost 65% of fatalities in traffic. Are there some professional able to control the growth of this number? The answer is positive, the traffic engineer is this professional who aims to identify the accidents, map them, so that you can determine the contributing factors to the route that these can be removed. The process is basically simple for these professionals. Is to focus efforts on critical points, in other words in places where accidents are concentrated with similar characteristics. Thus, the success of this procedure depends on an accurate register of accidents, as well as a thorough investigation of the data obtained from this register. With this approach to analyze the conditions of road safety, this work therefore consists in conducting a Road Safety Audit, the operating step, at Avenida Ayrton Senna, excerpt: Avenida Roberto Freire - Avenida Abel Cabral, in Natal , Rio Grande do Norte.
