This study aimed to evaluate the role of education in traffic associated with kinematics and evaluate possible changes in behavior with respect to the direction of future drivers. Participated in our survey, students in the first year of high school, a private educational institution in the North West of the State of Rio Grande do Sul. In all activities was used traffic to assist in the understanding of some physical concepts in kinematics and the Newton´s laws, physics curriculum content for the first year. The survey was conducted using structured questionnaires along with application classes using the methodology of the three pedagogical moments methodology for providing discussion between students and teacher and for problem-solving. Besides the three questionnaires during classes, some observations were made in the development of activities. The traffic topic is very useful for the application of physics concepts, providing a major increase in the appropriation of knowledge by the students (meaningful learning), in relation to these concepts. We conclude that this work contributed to the construction of knowledge of the physics of the participants. A significant change in attitude toward transit was also observed by changing thoughts and even forming opinions not previously existed.
