Estudio técnico para la implementación de señalización vial horizontal y vertical para las parroquias rurales del cantón Riobamba

Abstract

The implementation of traffic signs is essential for road safety as rural parishes of Riobamba city face challenges regarding the effectiveness and compliance of these signs. The objective of this research was to identify areas of improvement and evaluate the implementation of traffic signals in rural parishes that contribute to greater road safety and effectiveness in information to road users. The theoretical framework describes the regulatory framework in road signals. The methodology implemented with a transversal approach allowed us to obtain an understanding of the implementation of traffic signals, the non-experimental design was applied since variables are not manipulated and the implementation is observed in its natural environment, the level of study of the research is based on a descriptive level, seeking to describe and analyze the current situation of the implementation of traffic signals, the type of research was analyzed where the problem took place, the methods applied were scientific, inductive and deductive to know the depth of the problem, the population involved in the research were the inhabitants of the rural parishes of Riobamba city to whom research instruments were applied such as surveys, interviews and the observation technique. Through the application of the instruments, critical areas of low visibility, possible problems of understanding and discrepancies with regulations were identified. In this context, it is concluded that there is a need for specific improvements, such as the addition of signs at specific points plus the signals' review at intersections.
