Traffic accidents remain causing high morbimortality, but they are predictable and preventable, as pointed out by public policies. The theme of traffic education is indicated to be developed at all levels of education and is suggestive for the prevention of these accidents. The objective of this work was to investigate Brazilian postgraduate studies related to traffic education. A search was carried out on the website of the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD). The inclusion criteria established were: postgraduate studies related to the theme of traffic education, carried out in formal education environments, with students, who referred to the country and were fully available in the virtual environment. This search found 32 studies, from which six dissertations and three doctorates were selected for analysis. It was noted that the year 2015 concentrated more publications (4), and that studies related to Urban Engineering Programs predominated (4), as well as the southeast region stood out regarding to the number of works (5) and that all works were focused on contributing to the prevention of traffic accidents. It was concluded that there was a small number of postgraduate studies in the country regarding such an important topic for society, indicating the need for new work, mainly with the monitoring of actions carried out and the evaluation of their impacts.
