Abstract

Abstract: The road safety study on the Yaculoma-Suscal highway has provided an analysis detailed and exhaustive overview of current road conditions, identifying critical areas of risk and proposing specific countermeasures to improve security. Through the implementation of measures such as improved signage, central rumble strips and safety barriers, efforts have been made to mitigate the dangers associated with sharp curves and mountainous sections. Periodic evaluation and use of technologies such as ViDA software have been instrumental in monitoring and adjusting security strategies, ensuring an effective response to changing challenges. Coordination is also recommended closer inter-institutional framework and the continuous updating of regulations to ensure the effective implementation of the proposed measures. These initiatives not only seek to reduce the incidence of accidents, but also promote a culture of road safety through targeted educational campaigns. In summary, this study highlights the importance of investment in road infrastructure and the implementation of innovative strategies to improve continuously and sustainably improve safety on mountainous rural roads.
