Type: article
Abstract: The research "Assessment of Road Conditions for Walkability on Main Roads in the District of Miraflores, Lima, 2023" analyzes the conditions of three key avenues in Miraflores during 2023, focusing on comfort, visual quality, and pedestrian safety. The mixed methodology employed, combining field research and statistical analysis, proved effective. A significant alignment was found between researchers' findings and user perceptions. Main deficiencies center around comfort and road safety, highlighting the importance of improving pedestrian comfort with more seating, shade, and wider sidewalks. Visual quality is satisfactory due to urban maintenance. Practical recommendations, such as tree implementation and furniture stripes, are proposed. In summary, the study provides valuable insights to enhance pedestrian safety and comfort in Miraflores.
