ESTUDO PARA SOLUÇÃO DOS PROBLEMAS DE TRÁFEGO DO TRECHO DA AVENIDA DA PAZ E RUA QUINTINO BOCAIUVA NO MUNICÍPIO DE ELÓI MENDES - MG

Abstract

This work had as main objective the study to solve the traffic problems of the stretch that comprises Avenida da Paz and Rua Quintino Bocaiuva in the municipality of Elói Mendes - MG, due to the compromised circulation of vehicles in this stretch of the road. For that, comparisons were made between the current situation of the place with the rules presented by the competent Brazilian bodies in the area of traffic and highway studies. The volumetric counting of vehicles was carried out in order to verify whether the current geometry meets the traffic demand on the site and as a result the road did not meet the necessary requirements. After that, all steps were taken to obtain the cost of implementing the project and it was found that the expenses necessary for the expropriation of the properties as a result of the expansion of the route make the initial proposal technically and economically unfeasible. For this reason, two alternative proposals were established: The first would be the ban on parking vehicles that impair traffic on the stretch. The second was the traffic review proposal. Finally, it was concluded that according to the three proposals presented, the one that presented the best solution in order to solve the congestion problem at the study site was the road traffic review plan.
