Abstract

The city of Portoviejo experiences one of the most frequent problems of the cities where the car park is growing, which have a high commercial activity and a high concentration of bureaucratic activity, vehicle congestion. The objective of this research work was to analyze the composition of vehicular traffic and propose solutions and alternatives to this problem in one of the congestion points of the city, located along Avenida América, from its intersection with Avenida Manabí to its intersection with Ramón Fernández street, an area called “Banking Sector”. For this purpose, the methodology was supported by the application of a vehicle count, the practice of a survey directed at drivers, and the observation of researchers. The results allowed identifying three frequent causes of the problem: the so-called "rush hours", the type of vehicle and, mainly, the driver
