In the city of Lima, the road culture of drivers at intersections frequently jeopardizes pedestrian safety. This disregard for traffic rules, especially in places designed for a continuous flow such as traffic circles or ovals, forces pedestrians to cross intersections quickly. In this paper, we analyze how continuous vehicular traffic on the Huarochirí Oval, located in the district of La Molina, impairs pedestrian safety and crossing time. Currently, the oval does not have traffic lights, which causes a continuous vehicular flow, and drivers do not yield to pedestrians, especially during the critical hour from 7:00 to 8:00 am. For this reason, it is proposed to implement a traffic light system in the Huarochirí Oval using micro-simulation, with the objective of improving safety and crosswalk times. This proposal will contribute to this area due to the high modal interchange, which reinforces the need for this intervention making it a safer and more efficient urban environment by regulating the continuous flow of vehicles and producing a more effective traffic control. According to the results, road safety is improved from 1 to 5 stars by means of the iRAP classification, and crossing times for pedestrians alone, accompanied and PRM are reduced by up to 20, 23 and 60 seconds respectively. Likewise, vehicle-pedestrian conflicts at crosswalks were reduced by 89%.
