Abstract

This research is aimed to propose the extension of the Tariffed Rotary Parking System (SEROT), in the urban area of Riobamba city, period 2016, in order to provide a solution for the lack of parking space, and reduce the traffic congestion generated in the city. The area under study is bounded by the longitudinal streets from “Ayacucho” to “11 de Noviembre” street and the transversal streets from “Alvarado” to “La Prensa” avenue, in order to conduct this study; it was used a form of road inventory with data coming from both; streets and parking lots where their existing supply was determined. The existing supply registers 1273 places on the street, controlled by the Tariffed Rotary Parking System. These places are not enough due to the concentration of various entities, which causes the area is a recurrently space used by citizens. An 89% of surveyed users reported that their activities are affected due to the time it takes to find parking space, along with other negative aspects arising from the lack of parking, It is demonstrated the permanent necessity for the expansion of the SEROT area in the urban area of Riobamba city. It is recommended to extend studies related to parking systems in order to improve the road system in the city.
