Plan de mejoras para la circulación vehicular en la zona centro del cantón Guano, provincia de Chimborazo en el año 2023

Abstract

The downtown area of Guano has several problems, such as a lack of adequate signage, poor road conditions, and inadequate management of parking lots, which are detrimental to citizens when driving on these roads. Therefore, this research aims to propose an improvement plan for vehicular traffic in the downtown area of Guano, province of Chimborazo, in the year 2023. The methodology implemented had a quantitative and qualitative approach; a transversal and non-experimental design was used since the research was carried out in a determined period; a documentary and field research were also conducted to carry out the respective information gathering with the use of techniques and instruments among which are the observation and the survey directed to the people who go to the central area of the canton. Through this methodology, it was possible to determine that the existing problems in the central zone of the Guano canton were identified using user surveys and observation sheets regarding parking lots, horizontal and vertical signage, and the geometric characteristics of the road in certain sections of the streets. About these existing problems in the center of the canton, an improvement plan is proposed with three strategies: the implementation and maintenance of horizontal and vertical signage, the design of a rotating parking fee system, and the widening of sidewalks in certain sections of the roads.
