# Supporting the Road networks – Brazil

![Supporting the Road networks – Brazil](https://www.systra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/header_reseau_routier_bresil.jpg)

**Road safety is a national challenge in Brazil and SYSTRA is leading several road and motorway safety assignments, notably in the state of São Paulo. Our areas of expertise in roads also cover the design of road networks across the country.**

The road is the most important transport mode in Brazil, accounting for the bulk
of movements of people and goods. The condition of the road network requires
special attention as does the control of safety for road users, issues for which
the state of São Paulo chose to call in SYSTRA.

Partners of the public authority responsible for roads in this state since 1983,
we have led 24h/24 asssitance assignments in recent years around the
municipalities of the Bauru region, in the centre of the state. This especially
involves providing the necessary assistance to motorists as quickly as possible
over a road network of approximatively 650km with a fleet of seven tow trucks,
four small vans and eight light vehicles. This eases the traffic, reducing the
dangers and risk of accidents.

With the same objective of improving road safety, we have carried out for more
than 20 years fixed and mobile weighing of heavy goods vehicles in order to
control their loads. Limiting excess weight enables the safety of users and the
condition of infrastructures to be ensured. Each truck aslo has its height and
dimensions checked. Eight of these stations are deployed since 2017 in three
regions of the state (São Paulo, Presidente Prudente and Barretos).

The transport authorities also call in SYSTRA for large-scale events. In 2018,
we were thus mobilised to ensure the smooth operation of the 4th edition of the
world-renowned cycling competition The Tour de France in Brazil, a local race
for amateurs which took place in the Compos do Jordão mountains and for which
the route’s safety had to be ensured.

On the engineering side, SYSTRA is participating in the construction of São
Paulo’s north ringroad with the aim of reducing traffic in the city centre,
cutting journey times between the Guarulhos Airport and the Dutra motorway, and
improving the connection between the interior of the region and the port of
Santos. We have carried out detailed designs on a 30km section and reviewed the
plans during construction.

Outside São Paulo, we have contributed to studies for the outlines of
Caraguatatuba and São Sebastião, the creation of local routes in the state of
Bahia, as well as to the deployment of the state of Pará’s road network (around
Belém in the north of Brazil). Finally, since 2019 we have been providing our
expertise in consulting for the modernisation of the famous Estrada Real, in the
state of Minas Gerais.
