The objective of this study is to identify the failures in the administrative control processes that favor risky behaviors in the operators of motor vehicles. Through the analysis of the context of the northern border of Tamaulipas and the most recent accident rate statistics, complementing it with an exploratory study done with a sample of 535 subjects, identifying issues associated with the deficiencies of said processes, and having as limitation the fact that the variables are inherent to the geographic context, it was found that the main causes of road accidents in the municipality are the risky behaviors of the vehicle operators; moreover, there are failures in the administrative control processes, which favor these behaviors. Information is provided to carry out interventions regarding public health and, to conclude, evidence is provided on the existence of differences in the administrative control processes on road safety that favor the risky behaviors of the drivers.
