Intervenção urbana na Avenida Marcelo Gama em Cachoeira do Sul (RS)

Abstract

When we think of highways, ideally, we have the idea of reflecting on roads with the absence of buildings around them. But when we analyze the city of Cachoeira do Sul, located in the state of Rio Grande do Sul (RS), Brazil, this scenario isn’t what we find. Also known as Marcelo Gama Avenue, BR-153 passes through the urban area of the city and highlights the need to implement a ring road that allows a peripheral and quieter passage. Among the diagnosed problems are the lack of security, the precarious infrastructure and road signs, and the large flow of vehicles with high speeds that directly affect the urban conditions of the surroundings. In order to solve a problem of great relevance to the city, several studies and analysis were done in similar places, which allowed perceptions in relation to the city and highway, thus enabling the creation of sustainable urban guidelines for the elaboration of an intervention project of urban mobility in the location.
