Abstract

The present research work called “Road Safety Audit for the E-20 road, Papallacta – Cuyuja – Baeza, Napo Province (37km)” had the purpose of developing a road safety audit focused on its infrastructure to reduce the high number of accidents found in the place, we used a mixed approach since it is related to the qualitative and quantitative approach where information was obtained from the current situation of the study site. It had a descriptive level of study through the analysis of the parameters of the road about road safety using the analytical method; the design was non-experimental because the information was collected in situ, the type of cross-sectional study because it focused on a specific time through the collection of information with the help of an observation sheet. Thanks to this, all the existing problems within the road concerning infrastructure and its road design were obtained. As a result, thus being able to identify the different black spots, as well as the low level of safety along the stretch, allowed the development of a proposal based on the current regulations of the country, a reference budget, and a schedule of activities to be developed within the road, all this to improve road safety conditions within the study area. It is important to emphasize that it is vital that the competent authorities carry out the respective road safety audits as well as cleaning and maintenance tasks to guarantee safe and efficient mobility for users.
