Road Safety
We have set a path of continuous improvement that, in line with the goals of the Second United Nations Road Safety Decade, aims to reduce road traffic deaths and serious injuries by 50% by 2030.

Accident Reduction Program (PRA)
Aleatica’s global road safety department establishes working criteria and monitors road accident rates in order to coordinate preventive and corrective action plans across all our Business Units, with a particular focus on identified High Accident Concentration Sections (HACS).
Since 2020, we have implemented our Accident Reduction Programme (ARP) as the executive instrument to deploy Road Safety initiatives at both operational and corporate levels. With solid budget allocations, this programme addresses every aspect of the Safe System Approach, including Infrastructure, Road Customers, Vehicles, and Emergency Response. Speed is recognised as a critical and cross-cutting factor, and organisational structure is the starting point for efficient Road Safety management.
We manage the Safe System Approach through four factors:
Infrastructure
To find areas for improvement that are in line with the Forgiving Road philosophy, we perform Road Safety Audits on all of our infrastructure. We use accident data to assess the safety of each component of our infrastructure, and we use this information to develop and monitor plans to ensure that designs are safe, human error is minimised, and vehicle and road speeds are set at safe levels. |
Road Customer
We define and coordinate campaigns that promote awareness and compliance with traffic regulations among customers, as well as awareness campaigns that encourage them to maintain their vehicles in safe conditions and to drive defensively, attentively, and in excellent physical condition.
Vehicle
We run vehicle inspection campaigns to monitor their condition.
Emergency Response
In terms of organisation and response to accidents, we define the means and establish agreements to improve roadside assistance, signage, and the management of medical care after an accident.
Road safety indicators
We are working on our ARP through initiatives and projects targeting each of the factors in the Safety System, with the aim of reducing accidents and mitigating their consequences. Between 2020 and 2024, we will allocate 150.59 million euros in investments to strengthen these four key pillars.
It is important to analyse the casuistry of each Business Unit, as each one has its own types and predominant causes of accidents. The Business Units with the highest accident rate in Aleatica during 2024 were Circuito Exterior Mexiquense (CEM), Amozoc-Perote (AP), Autopista del Norte (AUNOR), and Autopista Río Magdalena (ARM), which account for over 90% of fatal accidents and fatalities, and over 85% of serious accidents and injuries.
--2.9% people with minor injuries in traffic accidents between 2023 and 2024.
--11.0% people with serious injuries in traffic accidents between 2023 and 2024. .
-29.9% fatalities among road users in traffic accidents between 2023 and 2024.
+9.4% minor traffic accidents between 2023 and 2024.
-9.5% serious traffic accidents between 2023 and 2024.
-22.3% fatal traffic accidents between 2023 and 2024.
-4.3% accidents without injuries between 2023 and 2024.
Future road safety strategy
In 2024, we conducted road safety inspections on all Aleatica motorways in operation, which allowed us to identify road risks and propose mitigation measures that will be considered in the 2025-2028 ARP for all motorways in operation.
The ARP 2025-2028 will maintain the Safe System Approach and will also be aligned with ALEATICA’s new Road Safety Strategy 2030 (ARSE2030), which we are currently working on. This strategy updates the approach, diagnosis, objectives and targets, action plans, and monitoring of Road Safety in the company, with implications for all its Business Units and functional units.
