Propuesta de ordenamiento de la movilidad en el centro urbano del cantón Guano, provincia de Chimborazo

Abstract

The objective of this degree work was to design a proposal that allows the organization of mobility in the urban center of the Guano canton, province of Chimborazo. For this purpose, documentary research was applied, in which documentary and bibliographic sources of information were used, especially the respective Ecuadorian Technical Standard (ETS). Likewise, in a field was applied the observant sheets, since the research is of non-experimental design and information was collected directly through observation; in addition to surveys, only applied as a guide to the users' opinion. These instruments made it possible to diagnose a disorderly use of the land, a channeled intersection lacking in road safety, defective geometric and technical characteristics of the roads, non-existent infrastructure in favor of sustainable means of transportation, and precarious vertical and horizontal signaling. The proposal includes five sustainable strategies that apply the ETS and aim to improve the performance of pedestrian and vehicular mobility in the canton, which include: 1) the design of a tariffed parking zone in the streets most frequented by vehicles in the urban center; 2) the implementation of bicycle parking lots in the urban center of the city; 3) the redesign and construction of reflective islands in the "La Tejedora" traffic circle type intersection; 4) the redesign of the physical and technical characteristics of the roads, and 5) the complementation of the missing signage in the city. Therefore, it is recommended that the competent bodies take this research as a reference for the analysis of data and the establishment of sustainable proposals in the Sustainable Mobility Plan of the canton
