Abstract

Abstract: Traffic accidents are a problem worldwide, in Ecuador it is the eighth cause of deaths, thus generating economic losses and irreparable damage to families affected, this thanks to several external factors such as humans, vehicles and the road infrastructure. These occurrences are more common on mountain roads in our country so analyzing and improving road safety is a necessity. The present work seeks to improve road safety at the entrance to Celica Ye de Celica Pózul, considering the iRAP methodology in which security is evaluated and allows countermeasures to be established that ensure a reduction in the number of road accidents and an increase in road safety. The road safety evaluation made it possible to determine that the majority of the road has one star, with which low-cost countermeasures were used to obtain a 3-star classification that represents a road with better safety standards.
