In 29 de Mayo Street, an average daily traffic (ADT) equal to 36.736 vehicles was registered. During the rush hour, a traffic Speed of 17.46 Km/h was identified. On Quito Street were registered 29.583 vehicles with a speed of 18.33 Km/h. On Guayaquil Street, 28.468 vehicles were recorded with an evarage speed of 18.36 Km/h and on Galápagos Street, 29.414 vehicles were recorded with a speed of 25.98 Km/h. All these streets have a level of service D, it is concluded that the urban area of Santo Domingo city presents a high level of vehicle management, this due to the bad conditions of road signals, narrow streets in bad conditions and the lack of culture of the drivers.
