Trafficc accidents (TA) are increasingly common in our everyday lives and the number of its
victims is increasing considerably. Thus, this research makes a study on traffic accidents
involving bikers in Araguaína-TO between 2013 and 2016. The goals of this research are
understanding the major causes of traffic accidents involving bikers in Araguaína-TO, as well
as identifying the sites where they occur more frequently and mapping them in order to
contribute to their improvement. The major difficulties of this research result from the high
rate of accidents involving bikers, which suggest some examination that lead us to try to
understand the reason why they exist: Why are there so many accidents? Why are so many
bikers involved with those? What are the problems? What is the solution to these problems?
What the Government does to reverse or mitigate this situation? This research is both
qualitative and quantitative so the methodological procedures used here consist primarily in
readings of monographs, articles, books, theses, dissertations, among others, to carry out its
theoretical framework, taking into account some authors from the area, such as: Gold (2001),
Akishino (2004), Palm & Pereira (2011) and Pereira (2013). Finally, it is believed that this
work will have a significant importance for the growth of Araguaina-TO given the regional
and urban development, and as well as a source for future research which also seek to bring
solutions to the problems regarding transit accidents involving bikers.
