Abstract

This present titling work is a Comprehensive Road Safety Plan based on restriction measures for motor vehicles in the urban area of the Guamote canton; it was carried out in order to mitigate the congestion of vehicles guaranteeing a safe urban mobility, through plans and actions that improve the circulation of vehicles and pedestrian traffic. For the research, three important factors were employed such as: human factor, road infrastructure and motor vehicles, the current situation was verified by means of observation sheets of the road infrastructure, surveys to the population of the urban area and interviews to the officials of the Guamote Transit Unit. Consequently as a result, it was possible to know that there is not enough horizontal and vertical road signs, in addition the population has no knowledge in the field of road safety, the annual review of public and private transport vehicles is the Done visually, so they do not guarantee greater security. To all this it is concluded that the transit unit of Guamote, as an entity in charge of the planning, regulation and control of the terrestrial transport, transit and road safety, does not have sufficient support by the authorities to improve the mobility and ensure safety when using a vehicle to be able to mobilize, that is why it is recommended to apply the Comprehensive Road Safety Plan and the actions raised to obtain safe roads, users and vehicles, as well as impose restrictive measures for heavy-duty motor vehicles and reduce congestion in the most congested streets and avenues in the urban area of the Guamote canton.
