Propuesta de un plan de jerarquización vial y señalización en el cantón Pallatanga de la provincia de Chimborazo en el período 2020

Abstract

The present study is focused on showing a Road Hierarchy and Signaling Proposal for the Pallatanga Canton, suggesting order on the roads to improve mobility. To do this, research methods, instruments and techniques were used together with Standards (INEN and NEVI), Regulations and the Pallatanga Mobility Plan. showing traffic problems, vehicular congestion, invasion of roads, deteriorated horizontal and vertical signals, in addition to the urgent request by the GADM of Pallatanga to have a Road Hierarchy Plan. To determine the current situation of the canton in terms of roads and signaling, files were prepared for the collection of information, which had characteristics of roads along with signaling. None of the roads in Pallatanga meet the parameters to be considered express roads, main roads or secondary roads; only 7.41% meet certain parameters to be considered as collector roads, while 92.59% meet parameters to be considered as local roads, taking into consideration that the average lane width of roads is 3.00 meters with only one direction for each lane. The existing horizontal and vertical signaling covers 85% of the road network. For this reason, it is proposed that Av. 13 beginning and ending at Velasco Ibarra Avenue and 10 de Agosto Street and other roads across the canton must be prioritized as local roads. Horizontal and vertical signaling must be placed under the parameters established in the NTE – INEN 004 Standard.
