Description
Summary:Vehicle congestion is a phenomenon that affects the world due to the potential increase in its population. Consequently, the capacity and level of service of Norte de Santander, Colombia, main avenue was analyzed, being the epicenter of the problem. This article was carried out using the highway capacity manual 2000, in addition to collecting information by means of vehicle gauges, conceptualizing the causes and critical points of the sector to diagnose the vehicle situation, proceeding to classify and process according to the highway capacity manual 2000. It is concluded that currently the system is with a level of service D and E, being these unstable, with tolerable speeds in some specific hours, but an incident on the road would cause little mobility, long queues and high waiting times for its narrow road space.
