These keywords were related to the conceptualization of authors who were dedicated to research the subject in question, such as: Freire (1982, 1987, 1996, 2000). Hoffmann (2003) and Noleto (2003). The work also points out possibilities of pedagogical work on Citizenship and Traffic Education based on official documents, such as the CTB (Brazilian Traffic Code), CF / 88 (Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil), LDB Guidelines and Bases National Education) and documents of the Denatran (National Department of Transit), body that defines the guidelines for Education in the Transit. Based on the evaluations of schools that visited this institution, it was tried to demonstrate the importance of the theme and verify the possibility of improving the work. The present study also revealed the need to raise the concern of citizens and government agencies about the importance of intensifying and maintaining continuity and sequential programs aimed at raising awareness among all of them in order to reduce traffic inci- dility rates.
