Resumen
The current research work titled Proposal of Improvement of conflictive intersections at Chillanes canton, province of Bolívar, aims to seek the adequate control type for each of the most conflictive intersections of the urban zone of the canton. For the development of the research, a survey addressed to the inhabitants was performed as well as field observation by using files for collecting information of the geometrical and technical features of the roads in study, with a vehicular capacity to determine the maximum traffic volume in the conflictive intersections. As soon as the field research concluded, it was determined that several roads do not have the minimal sidewalk width required in the norm and also the vehicle traffic flow of each intersection was obtained. Once the gathered information was analyzed, the control each intersection must have was determined, being these the regulated signalization as STOP regarding to the vertical signalization and, for the horizontal signalization, the demarcation of the crosswalks, it was also concluded that in most intersections of the urban area the problem is the lack of signalization for the control of the car flow (vertical and horizontal signalization). Aiming to improve mobility in the urban area of the canton Chillanes, it is recommended to the Technical Unit of Land Transport Transit and Road Safety to use this work to develop the implementation process and it is suggested to perform a permanent maintenance in the vertical and horizontal signalization with the objective of keeping them in good state so that they are visible for pedestrians and drivers.
