The Dirección General de Tráfico conducted a comprehensive observational study on safety equipment use among cyclists, VMP users, and motorcyclists in all provincial capitals, involving 32,872 observations. Key findings highlight significant gaps in safety practices, especially in helmet and reflective vest usage among different user groups and vehicle types. For instance, less than half of cyclists and about half of VMP users wore helmets, with professional users generally showing higher compliance. Night lighting use was notably better among electric bicycle users and professional VMP users. Moreover, motorcyclists showed the highest compliance with helmet usage, almost universally.
