In a quiet room in São José dos Campos' central city hospital, a 28-year-old patient recuperates from a broken leg. A few days earlier, a drunken motorbike driver struck him as he was working with a roadway repair crew.
"Safety measures are there, but they need to be increased," the patient says, adding that he'd like to see more video speed control on the roadways, as well as digital signs that warn drivers of workers and tougher enforcement against drunk drivers.
Ultimately, he said, road safety will be achieved when people change their attitudes.
