Abstract: In expanding urban areas, road infrastructure has an impact on traffic efficiency, logistics, visual comfort, and urban aesthetics; these elements are fundamental to improve the quality of life of the inhabitants and modify the perception of urban space for both residents and visitors. In this context, the objective of this study was to determine the relationship between road infrastructure and visual comfort in the city of Juliaca, 2024. The study was of non-experimental, transectional and correlational design. An instrument with a Cronbach's Alpha of 0.983 was applied to a sample of 182 inhabitants. The results were a Rho coefficient of 0.956, and a p-value of 0.000. It is concluded that there is a relationship between urban road infrastructure and the visual comfort of the inhabitants of the city of Juliaca, 2024. This result not only underlines the importance of planning and architectural design of road infrastructure in the urban visual experience, but also provides a solid empirical basis for future planning and development decisions by the specialized professional in these matters.
