Traffic accidents have become a huge problem for the authorities due to its incidence and costs. Amongst the users of the traffic system, the pedestrian is most vulnerable being more exposed to the dangers of traffic. While efforts have been made to reduce the number of accidents involving drivers, few studies have been carried through on the behavior of the pedestrian in Brazil. 210 university students had been invited to answer a questionnaire about their behavior as pedestrians. Differences between the groups age and sex were observed. Young people reports to commit more violations and errors than the adults. Men commit more violations then women. Contemplating these data specific strategies for the different groups are suggested focusing the responsibility of the pedestrians for their behaviors in the traffic.

50 million injured in road-traffic crashes worldwide, costing the global community about US$518 billion.1 The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies has described the situation as “a worsening global disaster destroying lives and livelihoods, hampering development and leaving millions in greater vulnerability”.2 Without appropriate action, road-traffic injuries are predicted to escalate from the ninth leading contributor to the global burden of disease in 1990 to the third by 2020.3,4 Acknowledging its enormous effect on the global community, WHO designated “road safety ” as the theme for world health day in April, 2004. A comprehensive report on road-traffic injury prevention1 was released by WHO and the World Bank on the same day, and an unprecedented plenary session of the UN General Assembly devoted to the global crisis of road crashes followed, culminating in a resolution that challenged all governments to address road safety as a matter of urgency.5 As a result of this resolution, a coordinating mandate was conferred on WHO, leading to the establishment of a UN road safety collaboration, a working group of 42 agencies committed to tackling road safety. These agencies are working within a common framework on a range of joint projects to address road safety. These projects encompass activities relating to data collection and research (including the establishment of a database of road-safety legislation), provision of technical support (including production of a series of how-to manuals), advocacy and policy, accessing financial support (including the launch in December, 2004, of a global road-safety initiative—a 5-year, US$10 million project, including a partnership of seven private-sector companies), and improving cooperation in partner organisations (including production of a resource entitled The United Nations Road Safety Collaboration: a handbook of partner profiles).6 As a result of the efforts of the collaboration, the UN General Assembly passed a new resolution on road safety on Oct 26, 2005, commending WHO for its role as a coordinator on road-safety issues within the UN system; and inviting Member States to implement the
