This thesis has the objective to propose a cycle path with an appropriate geometric design, in addition to analyze and evaluate the design proposals and their influence on road continuity and urban sustainability, taking as reference the Implementation Guide for sustainable non-motorized transportation systems of the MTC complemented with the Cycle-inclusive Infrastructure Design Criteria Manual and Cyclist's Circulation Guide 2017 of the Metropolitan Municipality of Lima. Currently, Cusco has 7.2 km of established cycle paths; however, the main problem of the cycle paths from the imperial city according to the General Comptroller (Control No. 017-2022-OCI/0385-SVC), are the lack of functionality, planning and deficiency in the geometric design, as well as lack of signaling and segregation elements (related to protection and security). Therefore, the main objective of this research is to analyze the current cycle path and its infrastructure, also to identify the deficiencies to develope a complete proposal of 2 geometric designs. First, we carried out bibliographic research to determine a regulatory framework that fits the parameters of this research, followed by the collection of field data such as topography, geometric characteristics and road inventory, vehicular flow, pedestrian flow and traffic light times. Once compiled what was explained above, the technical feasibility of the design proposals were established through simulations in PTV Vissim, entering information on the projected conditions in a design period of 20 years in 5 selected intersections: Magisterio (La Cultura and Perú avenue), Marcavalle (La Cultura and José Gabriel Cosio avenue), Prado (La Cultura and Diagonal Angamos avenue), Hospital (La Cultura and Hermanos Ayar avenue) and Clorinda (La Cultura and Tacna avenue). Then the calibration of the Vissim software model was carried out through a statistical analysis with the Statkey software because it must be verified that the model simulated by Vissim represents what really happens at the intersections of La Cultura Avenue. After that, the results of both geometric design proposals were evaluated based on travel times, delay times, average speed and level of service. Proposal 1 consists of relocating the current cycle path to the edges of the pedestrian sidewalk as 1.6m wide unidirectional lanes protected in both directions of La Cultura Avenue, proposal 2 consists of relocating the current unidirectional cycle lanes to the central berm, modifying its geometry to a 3.2m wide bidirectional cycle path, using the tree-lined central berm as confinement for both ends. It was concluded that proposal 1 obtained mixed results, a 40% reduction in delay times was observed at the Prado intersection, insignificant variations (null) at the Marcavalle, Magisterio and Clorinda intersections, and an unfavorable increase of 10% in delay times at Hospital intersection; with proposal 2, delay times are reduced from 10% to 40%, as well as the level of service (LOS) offered by the intersections under study. Proposal 2 is the one with the greatest geometric changes, its characteristics are high cost and duration, therefore, implies modifications at the infrastructure level that include: relocation of electric poles, high voltage boxes, traffic lights, signage, as well as modifying the structure of the central berm (without reducing the existing green area). It was determined that the implementation of this cycle path would have an approximate cost of 1.6 million PEN.
