Introduction: Brazil has recently witnessed a series of significant changes related to Road Traffic Accidents (RTAs). The evolution of these events represents a public health concern, affecting the economy and the population's quality of life. This study analyzes the epidemiological profile of RTA-related deaths in Brazil between 2012-2022, with a view to understanding the affected population and possible causes. Methodology: Cross-sectional ecological study, using data from DATASUS on RTA deaths and the variables: gender, marital status, age group, religion, race/color, state of residence and type of RTA. Results: Between 2012 and 2022, there were 157,591 deaths (23.05%) from RTA in the North. Most of them were men (82.66%), aged 20 to 39 (45.9%), single (52.6%), brown (75.3%), with 1 to 7 years of schooling (42.1%). The Northeast recorded 122,898 deaths, (22.94%) from RTA, (85.17%) males, (45.2%) aged 20 to 39, (77.4%) brown, (42.9%) 1 to 7 years of schooling. The Southeast recorded 136,586 deaths (22.88%) from RTA, males (81.6%), whites (53.4%), 20 to 39 years old (41.9%), 1 to 7 years of schooling (33.5%). In the South, there were 67,478 deaths (28.94%) from RTA, (80.2%) males, whites (84.3%), schooling (37.2%) from 1 to 7 years of schooling. In the Midwest, there were 43,960 deaths (30.09%) from RTA, 20 to 39 years old (41.5%), brown (58.4%), 1 to 7 years of schooling (38.2%). Discussion: RTAs represent a proportion of deaths from external causes, predominantly in men aged 20 to 39, single and with low levels of education, with color/race varying between regions. Conclusion: A relationship was found between RTAs and sociodemographic characteristics. Safety policies that are sensitive to regional differences and education that focuses on the target public are recommended.
