摘要
Because of the increase in the number of cases of COIVD-19, government authorities needed to contain the spread and implemented several measures, including restricting hours of operation and social distancing measures, such as isolation. This leads to a considerable decrease in urban mobility and, consequently, to an effect on road safety. Therefore, the problem question arises: What is the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on road safety on Brazilian federal highways? Thus, the objective of this paper is to evaluate the safety trends during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. This paper used the crash database from the Brazilian Federal Highway Police (PRF), was analyzed, which enabled identifying changes in crash occurrence in 2020 when compared to the previous years (2011 - 2019). A decrease in the number of crashes on federal highways was observed, which might not have a direct relationship with the COVID-19 pandemic.
