Análise da situação da malha cicloviária e proposta de intervenção no traçado da cidade de Guarapuava

Abstract

The use of bicycles in Brazil is widespread, but with an underdeveloped infrastructure compared to the motorized road mode, which receives a lot of attention from public policies in the country. As a result, cycling networks are built minimally for their own existence. These problems can be seen in the city of Guarapuava-PR with a network that does not support the size and development of the municipality and attention should be paid to problems such as the lack of signage, inconsistent intersections, and the high flow of motor vehicles. This work takes an approach to the growth and development of the cycling network in the city of Guarapuava-PR, analyzing the physical and logistical characteristics to find the flaws that have potential for improvement and solve them to serve the local population in a better way, including local traffic, to provide more safety and quality of life for the people who use it. The work lists the problems seen in the city's current cycling system. Finally, a route consistent with cyclists' needs is provided for the city's most important locations.
