A video captured by a driver shows a cyclist descending the Imigrantes Highway at high speeds without any protective equipment, which is against traffic regulations. This incident not only endangers the cyclist himself but also poses risks to other drivers on the road. The Imigrantes Highway is known for its steep gradients and heavy traffic, making such descents highly perilous.

Ecovias, the operator of the highway, stated that they had not been notified of this incident and do not have existing records of cyclists descending the highway on that day. They emphasized that any dangerous situations like these should be reported to the Highway Police, who are in charge of monitoring the safety of the road. The lack of awareness regarding the risks involved in such activities highlights the need for better communication about safety regulations for cyclists.

An alternative route for cyclists, known as the Rota Márcia Prado, is available and connects the cities of São Paulo and Santos, providing a safer option for those who wish to cycle between these two locations. This tourist cycling route offers a scenic and secure experience, thus encouraging a safer lifestyle while promoting cycling as a viable means of transport and recreation in the region.
