The expressive rise in the number of vehicles, the low investment in road infrastructure and alternative ways of mass transit have caused daily traffic jams, and serious urban mobility issues that affect all workers, especially the Traffic and Transportation Oversight Agents. Objectives: To know and analyze the conditions in which the work of these agents is done, the risks presented in it and the repercussion of those conditions on these professionals regarding their health and work satisfaction. Method: As to the objectives, it’s about an exploratory, and analytical and descriptive research, adopting the documentary research methodology and field study as procedure, with data collection of a selected population sample - 12 traffic and transportation oversight agents -, through the application of a semi-structured interview. Results: The agents have been experiencing a process of biopsychosocial impairment, due to the precarious work conditions and the deficit of human resources and instruments, factors that are the fallout of political shifts and governmental planning that make the proper development of their tasks unfeasible. The agents, due to performing their work on the streets, in open spaces and away from the institution, are exposed to the weather, to direct contact with the user or client, factors which have shown to be conductive to aggression and urban violence. Conclusion: Parallel to that, it’s been noted that there is a work environment that is favorable to the positive experiences between agents, since the interpersonal relationships are still preserved, manifesting as a facilitator in health development, strengthening of the professional category and as an important element of their work satisfaction.Acesso AbertoTrabalho na ruaStreet workAgente de fiscalização de trânsitoTransporation oversight agentsCondições de trabalhoWork conditionsSetor públicoPublic sectorMobilidade urbanaUrban mobilityDissertaçãoSociais e HumanidadesMultidisciplinar
