Auditoria de segurança viária: propostas para mitigação de riscos viários em trecho urbano/rural de Caçu- Go

Abstract

The continuous increase in the vehicle fleet in Brazil, combined with urban growth and the intensified use of roadways, has heightened the need for systematic assessments that help identify conditions that may compromise user safety. In this context, this Undergraduate Thesis applies a Road Safety Audit (RSA) to an urban/rural segment located in the municipality of Caçu-GO, comprising Manoel Carneiro Guimarães Street and its intersection with the state highway GO-206. The research is based on a literature review addressing the evolution of motorization, accident indicators at different territorial scales, and the methodological principles of RSA, recognized as a preventive tool aimed at analyzing risks associated with road infrastructure. The methodology includes the selection and adaptation of checklists applied during field inspections that evaluated geometric, operational, and environmental parameters. The technical assessment identified deficiencies that may negatively affect user experience and safety, such as the absence or discontinuity of sidewalks, obstructions to pedestrian movement, worn or insufficient horizontal and vertical signage, limitations in the drainage system, and a lack of roadside containment devices. Based on the observed conditions, structural and operational improvement proposals were developed to mitigate the critical points identified along the roadway. The results demonstrate the potential of RSA to support well-founded interventions, providing objective guidance for enhancing road safety and mobility in the analyzed segment.
