Estudo de adequação de sinalização na interseção no município de Luiziana - Paraná

Abstract

Road safety is extremely important for urban mobility, so it is of great value to carry out a road signage project, especially on irregular roads, which cause uncertainty for drivers, pedestrians and, consequently, traffic accidents. From this, it was observed that the intersection between Avenida Independência and Liberdade in the city of Luiziana/PR poses a risk to local users, as it presents problems with its road signage. Thus, the objective of the work was to perform the road project based on the regularity of the existing situation, in addition to budgeting the proposed road signage project. From checking the existing signage during on-site visits, it was observed that there is a need to change some signs due to the existence of deteriorated signs, problems with horizontal signs in relation to paint caused by weathering and the flow of automobiles, raised pavement marks, as well such as signs and transverse undulation outside the norm. As for the signage project, the elements were dimensioned to comply with the criteria of the National Traffic Council – CONTRAN, as ordering the direction of the road, provision of parking spaces for the elderly and disabled, among others. Through the devices used in this project, it was possible to create the quantity and budget, aiming to use materials and paintings that are more suitable for viewing people and their respective durability. Therefore, it is expected that, based on the proposed project, adjustments will be made to ensure the safety of drivers and pedestrians in the area and reduce the risk of accidents.
