Factores de seguridad vial en retornos a desnivel de la Biblioteca Manuel Zapata Olivella

Abstract

This monograph studies road safety factors at the Manuel Zapata Olivella Library grade-separated interchange in Kennedy, Bogotá, an area with a high accident rate that primarily affects pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists. Although the project aims to improve mobility and mitigate some critical points, it has also generated new problems at its intersections. The study analyzes how these problems contribute to accident rates, using data from the National Road Safety Agency, the Bogotá Open Data platform, and community surveys. The grade-separated interchange represents an improvement in mobility in Kennedy, but significant road safety challenges remain. The findings show that factors such as the design geometry, insufficient signage, and user habits continue to generate risks.
