I am aware that the CET São Paulo, based on statistical survey of the City of London, decided to lower speed limits, in the marginal Tiete and Pinheiros rivers, highways, with the maximum possible speed in Traffic Code, 80 km / h. Belongs exclusively to transit authorities set this limit, even higher than required by law.
As always watchful in my articles, exercise the direction of traffic of a city rests on its decisions in his eagerness to improve safety and urban mobility, research and statistics, not forgetting to disclose to the public, since, according to Legendary definition Director of the New York Transit, Henry Barnes: “Traffic is moving people.” Who does it, so it is the people, and this should be fully informed before any modification. The time lost with the release, recovers in execution.
When I was director of Traffic late Guanabara State, created because of this, the division “Research and disclosure,” directed by a specialized engineer. In 1969, with the circulation system set, only altered by the traffic requirement of research results, practically, because of security.
Well, what just happened in São Paulo, causing complaints uninformed and selfish for the loss of supposed comfort, answered exactly the result of research in London, the megalopolises of better transit and transportation system in the world, in order to reduce the risk of fatal accidents on these highways.
The current Municipal Secretary of Transportation of St. Paul is a professional dedicated, willing to adjust and learn. It was no accident that traveled to London to receive regular updates as soon took office.
In this current measure, he threw what he saw and hit what he saw. In addition to increasing safety, increased capacity of these pathways, according to a Siemens study, published in June 1965, a technical brochure, the speed at which best leverages the expressway capacity is 50 or 60 km / h.
Its explanation is obvious since, with reduced speed, the interval between car decreases and, in consequence, increases its placement, making it more compact stream.
As the urban maximum speed limit on the European continent, there are over forty, 50 km, it was possible to make the hit-ranging, non-bailable crime. Respecting the maximum speed is very easy to stop.
I saw that prosecutors and the São Paulo Bar Association of the Order decided to get involved, where they were not called, having the audacity to question the CET Sao Paulo, on this unique technical measure it. To my knowledge, these two entities are part of the National Traffic System
I must warn you, by my vast experience in the subject, I am militant since 1967, the CET alone is accountable to the Secretary of Transportation and this to the most Your Mayor Nobody, as they say in the northeast.
Your answer to this questioning should be that address the Mayor, not the subordinate organ which acted within the powers that the law granted rights and only to him.
What the mayor is firm, honoring their coaches, the oldest CET, Brazil, which helped create, along with my late friend Roberto Scaringella, on the Ides of decade 70, twenty years before the new Traffic Code pass the traffic to the administrative level of the municipality.
In the same issue of the TV evening newspapers, happened another barbarity, the result of ignorance and presumption of talk about what do’nt know. An expert said on the mandatory use of simulator for obtaining a driver’s license to drive, as a futility.
Now, using the simulator is not to learn to drive, but to present unusual situations to which the driver is not enabled, with only the street classes.
It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that accidents happen when the driver is faced with a situation for which he was unprepared.
Finally, it is worth remembering that:. If speaking is silver, silence is golden
