Abstract

     This study focuses on road infrastructure and its impact on urban mobility in Chiclayo, 2023, with an emphasis on evaluating current conditions and proposing improvements for more efficient and sustainable transit. The methods combine quantitative techniques and assessment of public perception through surveys, evaluating elements such as the effectiveness of rigid pavement, the integration of soil mechanics studies in planning, and the influence of environmental impact on transit. The results highlight a significant positive correlation between improving road infrastructure and optimizing urban mobility, indicating that investments in road improvements are essential to alleviate congestion and improve urban quality of life. Specific strategies are suggested to manage vehicular saturation, improve signage and safety, and promote the use of eco-friendly public transportation. The research confirms that adequate planning and investment in road infrastructure are crucial for fostering a sustainable and functional urban environment in Chiclayo.
