However, the act of covering the vehicle's license plate is considered a very serious infraction, which generates a fine of R$ 293.47 and seven points on the National Driving License (CNH). 39% drop Despite the high number, the data shows a 39% drop in total incidents compared to the same period last year. Between January and June 2025, the city's radars had captured 323,700 images of motorcycles with hidden license plates. Emdec attributes the reduction to the inspection fronts adopted in the municipality, which include: Remote inspection: 19 active cameras identified 14,800 risk behaviors in this first half of the year. Integrated blitzes: 124 joint operations resulted in the detection of more than 4,500 risky behaviors in 2026. Relocated radars: equipment was moved to critical points, such as Ruy Rodriguez and John Boyd Dunlop avenues, maintaining a fixed total of 144 inspection points in the metropolis. Traffic victims Motorcyclists represent the majority of traffic fatalities in the metropolis. Until the month of May 2026, of the 15 deaths recorded on the city's roads, ten were people riding motorcycles or riding pillions, which is equivalent to 67% of cases. Speeding caused 50 deaths in 2025 and is already the main factor in one of the seven fatal accidents analyzed in 2026. Traffic lights were also directly involved in four other deaths last year, killing passengers and motorcycle riders in three of them.
