Accidents resulting from the increase in the use of motorcycles in Brazil have caused managers to seek solutions to this problem. With this in mind, the city of São Paulo-SP created the experimental project called "Blue Lane" which is the creation of an exclusive lane for motorcycles and which has reduced the number of accidents and deaths in traffic involving this modal. In Belém-PA, this problem has been combated by the city through blitz and educational campaigns, but there is no specific project for this means of transportation. This work aims to analyze the need to implement exclusive lanes for motorcycles in Belém do Pará based on the needs that were the basis for the implementation of the "Blue Lane" project in São Paulo. For this, it was analyzed the project "Blue Lane" and what data were used for implementation of the project, in possession of them was made the research of these same data for Bethlehem and their percentages compared with the data of the capital of São Paulo and was proposed to Avenida Centenário as a way of implementation. This comparison showed that, in terms of percentage, Belém had a greater increase in the fleet and annual growth of motorcycles and that the percentage of accidents involving them came close to that of São Paulo before the project. This result showed that Belém meets the requirements for the implementation of the "Blue Lane" project and that there is a need for its implementation.
