Identify, prioritize and correct road safety problems.
In order to clearly differentiate the safety problems that affect vulnerable users, the problems have been
classified into two categories: • Generic road safety problems.
1. By type of road safety problem
2. Detail of deficiencies detected (per km) • Road safety problems that specifically affect
(Example: vulnerable users).

Coexistence of transit flows
F - Highest level of risk: It involves a high
risk of accidents, with the most
vulnerable users being the most affected.
• Channeling of flows
• Installation of railings in the
sidewalks
• Installation of bollards on sidewalks
• Traffic access control, pedestrianization
of the road.
Problem Description • Installing ears (widening corners)
Users of different types (pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, cars, etc.) come together
on the same road, and each of them has different needs.

• Increase in maintenance activities.
• Replacing defective signals.
• Anti-slip road markings.
The poor condition of road signs and equipment can cause confusion and accidents for road users. It should not be forgotten
that poor signage can be just as dangerous as none at all.

• Insufficient number of pedestrian -e=ic2

D - Moderate-High risk level: The lack of pedestrian crossings increases the risk of
being run over.
The lack of pedestrian crossings means that pedestrians cross the street at any point,
increasing the risk of being run over.

Problem Description
Inadequate drainage of the road poses a high risk of vehicles aquaplaning, increasing the risk of accidents. The accumulation of water on the roadway also causes a nuisance for
pedestrians both when crossing the road and when they are splashed by vehicles travelling on the lane of the road closest to the sidewalk.
