São Vicente installs traffic lights for pedestrians at intersection where 79-year-old woman was run over Reproduction / TV Tribuna The municipality's Undersecretary of Traffic and Transport, Valério Júnior, reinforced the importance of respecting the new signage. He reported that there have already been flagrant violations at the location. "We have already seen here, after the installation of this traffic light here, a lack of respect.
