Política Nacional de Trânsito: análise da fiscalização de trânsito em Monteiro - PB.

Abstract

With the increase of the user population of automobiles, traffic becomes increasingly complex and dangerous, for this reason, it is essential to observe how this reality is configured in the municipalities. The present work problematizes the challenges posed to public management to address urban mobility as a means of ensuring security for society with regard to individual and collective rights. This research brings a quantitative analysis on the state's ability to promote public order by regulating urban mobility in the municipality of Monteiro-PB. For this, we used databases of agencies responsible for regulating and meeting traffic-related problems. Data provided by the Department of Traffic (DMV) show the number of vehicle seizures; the data from the Mobile Emergency Care Service (SAMU) show accident rates; the data of the Municipal Traffic and Transport Authority of Monteiro (MONTRAN) and the Battalion of the Military Police demonstrate the amount of fines applied between the years 2016 to 2019, identifying the relationship between increased inspection and traffic variables during this period. From this investigation, it was verified the performance of the traffic regulatory bodies with regard to the inspection, which directly impacted the number of fines in the city, a considerable increase in seizures of irregular motorcycles, which also influenced their rates, and consequently, traffic safety in the municipality. Thus, effectiveness was observed in the results of public management in the Municipality.
