The increase in the number of cars used in Brazilian cities resulted in an aggravation of road congestion, impacts on public health, and environmental quality. The awareness around this issue resulted in the decreed of the Law 12.587/2012, which led to the National Urban Mobility Policy (PNMU). In this paper, the principles, objectives and guidelines of the PNMU are compared with the design principles of complete streets policies, already established and widely used in North America for the reorganization of road networks. It is found that the concept exhibits compliance to the PNMU and that it can be a policy measure and a design tool that supports the achievement of the objectives of the Law. The article concludes with an application of the principles of complete streets on a road in Natal, RN, Brazil.
