In recent years, Latin America has seen an adaptation in the planning of bicycle lanes in urban areas, which has included the reduction of lane widths or the use of part of the central separators of urban roads. However, not all cities have managed to implement a network of bicycle lanes in their entirety. For example, in Lima, there are districts that still lack bicycle lanes. One of the main problems generated by the coexistence of bicycles and motorized vehicles in cities is the high incidence of traffic accidents and vehicular traffic, which generates low trafficability of users. The creation of a bikeway network in a Comas urbanization is proposed, using the Bikability Index (BI) and Synchro software to improve the walkability of users. It starts with the selection of two interdependent intersections in Comas that are the basis for a future Master Plan. That is, the intersections Av. Micaela Bastidas with Jr. Manuel Gonzales Prada (A) and Av. Micaela Bastidas with Av. Retablo (B). Then, a visit was made to the study area to determine the main causes affecting trafficability. Next, the BI of the study area was prepared, based on the answers provided by the users of Comas in the surveys carried out. After that, the current modeling of the intersections is carried out. Then, the proposal to implement the bicycle lane network is modeled. Also, the traffic lights of the intersections are synchronized in the Synchro 8 software. Finally, the proposed design of a bicycle lane network in Comas generates an increase in trafficability for frequent and infrequent cyclists by 14% and 23.5%, respectively. In addition, both intersections were synchronized with a difference of 10 seconds for the better movement of cyclists and to control vehicle turns.
