Resumen
The focus of this investigation will clarify the main road safety conditions in the city of Santa Marta in the department of Magdalena, emphasizing mainly on infrastructure issues. The proposed objective is based on evaluating the security conditions of mobility and transit, looking for alternatives for improvement and also analyzing the main causes presented on city roads. One of the problems related to the issue of road infrastructure is the current state of the roads. The report on quality of life in the city of Santa Marta records that, between 2017 and 2018, deaths in traffic accidents increased. In 2017, 72 cases were registered and in 2018, there were 79. “These were the years in which the agreement with the Traffic Police stopped working and the district transit body began to operate autonomously,” said Lucas Gutiérrez, Director of the “Como Vamos” magazine from the city of Santa Marta. However, he noted that the number of injuries in traffic accidents decreased. The record went from 359 cases in 2017 to 327 cases in 2018. For the year 2018, according to the city's Quality of Life report, it communicates that “In 2018, 8% of the total road network is in poor condition; 27% in regular condition; 65% in good condition ”. This study proposes that another of the causes of vehicular congestion corresponds to the current road conditions, since under poor conditions there is an increase in travel times due to low operational speeds. Taking into account that there are several factors that influence road accidents, this article will focus on road infrastructure and the variables that affect safety conditions on the roads of the city studied; aspects such as road infrastructure conditions, signaling and current regulation by the entities in charge will be identified and analyzed.
