Metodología para la implementación de dispositivos modificadores de superficie de rodadura para la reducción de velocidades en el tramo vial estatal E45A, zona urbana y rural del cantón Joya de los Sachas, provincia de Orellana

Abstract

The present research work "Methodology for the implementation of Tread Surface Modifying Devices for the reduction of speed in the state road section E45A, urban and rural area of the Joya de Los Sachas canton, Orellana Province.", is based on the road safety principal and is aimed at mitigating the excess speed with which the vehicles circulate in the state road section that crosses the canton, in such virtue the road has been evaluated through a matrix of the Ministry of Transport and Public Works of Ecuador, designed specifically to assess and recognize the state of roads. The results reflect that the current state of this road is regular since, it obtained a rating of 60 points out of 100, for this reason the use and implementation of approved devices and signalling is encouraged, considering that the circulation speed through populated areas and school zones is 50 and 20 kilometres per hour, respectively. Based on the research carried out, it is proposed the construction of fourteen speed bumps with zebra crossings each and the implementation of 51 Transversal Alert Bands, the referential budget for the total implementation is $ 104,936.64. The competent authorities must emphasize compliance with what is suggested in this methodology, guaranteeing the right to life, free transit, mobility and improvement of the quality of life of the citizen.
