Highly congested cities require optimal management of urban mobility. Many of these cities are characterized because their road infrastructure does not match their vehicular demand, as is the case in the city of Lima. Therefore, the development of road infrastructure should be prioritized, since there are, for example, wide intersections that present a large number of conflict points. In effect, they reduce the operational capacity and service level of the intersection. This research aims to reduce conflict points and crossing time at wide cross-type intersections, based on the Continuous Flow Methodology (CFI) with elevated eyeliners (composite bollards) and detectors (sensors) in order to improve the capacity and safety of the intersection. The object of study of the present investigation is in a commercial area located between avenue Republica de Venezuela with avenue Aurelio Garcia y Garcia, Lima. The left-turn vehicular movements are those that affect the performance of the signposted intersections. Therefore, 3219 vehicles were collected in total, of which 561 vehicles turned left demonstrating the high density of this type of maneuver. The effectiveness of the proposed design is validated using microsimulation in the Vissim software. The results obtained show the points of cross-type conflicts were reduced to 8 points with the proposed model compared to the current state, which has 58 points of cross-type conflicts. On the other hand, the average crossing time of the vehicles decreased by 4.20 and 9.79 seconds in phase 1, due to the redesign of the intersection geometry. In fact, the operational capacity increased by 33.85%, since the vehicle capacity with the new traffic light cycle of 150 seconds is 431 vehicles with respect to the 322 vehicles that had the previous model. Finally, the risks of posterior and lateral collisions are reduced by the use of elevated eyeliners by 83%.
