“…16 Some factors that certainly contribute to the increased risk of accidents involving a motor vehicle and a pedestrian are the childs age, impact speed and vehicle design. 10,17,18 With regard to the drivers attitudes, motor vehiclepedestrian collisions occur due to excess speed, intoxication, insecure attitudes, noncompliance with traffic rules, lack of attention to pedestrians (especially children) and impunity. 8 Accidents involving a motor vehicle and a child are usually caused by under-forty-year-old male drivers.…”

AbstractObjective: To instruct children and teenagers about safe transportation and about their behavior as cyclists and pedestrians. Sources of data:The MEDLINE and LILACS databases were searched, using the following terms, from 1995 to 2005: traffic accidents, child, adolescent, morbidity, mortality, age, and gender. Scientific articles on morbidity and mortality from traffic accidents, children in a pedestrian situation, as cyclists or as motor vehicle passengers, were selected.Summary of the findings: More than 300 scientific articles were found, but only the studies that addressed those issues in a broad manner were selected.Conclusions: Traffic-related mortality rates are still very high and show the necessity to intensify educational campaigns for community awareness, in addition to encouraging investments in effective pedestrian safety. The pediatricians role is to decrease the number of children and adolescents who get involved in traffic accidents by providing them with traffic guidance and education.J Pediatr (Rio J). 2005;81(5 Suppl):S181-S188: Accident prevention, prevention and control, pedestrian, transportation, cyclist.

This study characterizes traffic accidents involving motorcycles according to local conditions, data concerning the type of accident, date and time, and identifies among these variables those associated with the death of victims. This retrospective study uses data from traffic collision reports from 2004 and death records from the institute of forensic medicine. A total of 99.4% of the events occurred in urban areas, where illumination (87.4%), weather conditions (80.6%); and traffic signs (70.6%) were satisfactory. Collisions between motorcycles and cars or pickup trucks prevailed (55.5%), followed by motorcycle falls (18.0%). In relation to the type of collision, the highest percentage was observed in broadside collision category (35.2%). There were differences between the groups of fatalities and survivors in relation to the area and illumination in the collision's site, in addition to the types of collision and impact. The conclusion is that local conditions and types of collision and impact stand out among the multiple variables defining the severity of accidents involving motorcycles.Descriptors: Accidents, Traffic; Mortality; External Causes. Ocurrencias de tránsito con motocicleta y su relación con la mortalidadSe tuvo por objetivo caracterizar las ocurrencias de tránsito con motocicleta, según condiciones locales, datos relacionados al tipo de accidente, fecha y hora, además de identificar entre esas variables las que se asociaron con la muerte de las víctimas. Se trata de un estudio retrospectivo utilizando datos de los Boletines de Ocurrencia de Tránsito referentes al año de 2.004 y los registros de muerte del Instituto Médico Legal.El 99,4% de las ocurrencias sucedieron en área urbana, en locales donde las condiciones de luminosidad (87,4%), condición meteorológica (80,6%) y señalización (70,6%) eran satisfactorias. Predominó la colisión de motocicleta con automóvil o camioneta (55,5%) y las caídas de motocicleta fueron las más frecuentes (18,0%). En el tipo de impacto, el mayor porcentaje fue observado en la categoría colisión transversal (35,2%). El grupo de muertos difirió en relación a los sobreviventes en cuanto al área y luminosidad del local de la ocurrencia, además del tipo de accidente e impacto. Se concluye que las condiciones locales, tipos de accidente e impacto se destacan entre las múltiples dimensiones que envuelven la gravedad de las ocurrencias con motociclistas.

“…Autores referem que a gravidade das vítimas, em área rural, deve ser maior do que nas áreas urbanas, provavelmente pelas altas velocidades desenvolvidas nessas localidades além da ausência de sinalização e fiscalização 80 .…”
