Aplicação de Mecanismos da Engenharia para Melhorar o Tráfego e a Segurança no Trânsito em Parintins

Abstract

Urban mobility and safety are issues of urban development, espercially in cities like Parintins/AM, which faces increasing challenges in its road infrestruture. The study identifies problems such as the absence of warning signs, horizontal signs (crosswalks, written on the pavement), traffic lights and other regulatory indications. This lack directly impacts the increase in accidents and traffic efficiency in the area. The research used quantitative and qualitative surveys, based on data obtained through questionnaires with users, field observations and application of technical traffic rules. As a solution, it is proposed to implement a comprehensive signage project, including traffic signs, readjustment of access to the avenue, horizontal signs and devices such as “dragon’s teeth”, considering the flow of vehicles and the relevance of the section in cultural events of the city. The results indicate the urgent need for interventions to ensure more efficient and safe mobility, highlighting the importance of monitoring and raising awareness among drivers and pedestrians. The research reinforces the relevance of traffic engineering for improving road safety in Parintins. This research to adequate and safe urban mobility for the city.
