Introduction: Every year more than 1.3 million individuals worldwide die due to traffic accidents. Brazil has held the third position in the ranking of countries with the highest number of traffic-related fatalities since 2015. For this reason, the Intersectoral Committee for the Analysis of Traffic Accident Deaths in the city of Campinas began its activities in 2014 and represents a group formed by healthcare, security and logistics sectors in the city to analyze the cases of death. Objectives: To comprehend the determinants and conditions contributing to fatal traffic accidents in Campinas. Methods: Descriptive analysis of traffic accidents and risky behaviors of accidents that resulted in fatalities in Campinas in 2020. The analyzed factors will include: type of road, time of the accident, day of the week, gender, age, city of origin, type of vehicle, and risky behaviors. The information was obtained through the database provided by the Respect for Life Program (PRV) and the Mortality Information System (SIM) and investigated by the Department of Surveillance and Health (DEVISA). Results: In 2020 Campinas had 124 deaths from traffic accidents, four were excluded due to lack of supporting information. Most accidents occurred on highways (51%), at nighttime (45.8%), on Sundays (20%), and most victims were male (86.2%), aged 40-59 (34%), and residents of the municipality itself (61%). The majority of accidents involved motorcycles (53.7%). Alcohol or drug consumption (26.1%) and speeding (23.9%) were the major risk factors. Conclusion: It is important to analyze and produce information to support and establish priorities when planning programs to prevent trauma. In that way, increase awareness among young males in Campinas and neighboring cities, about the dangers of alcohol and speeding on highways. Additionally, measures to enhance road safety, especially during nighttime, should be promoted to ensure the protection of all individuals.
