A frequent problem worldwide is the traffic delay at intersections. This also occurs in Peru, with greater incidence in the city of Lima. It is mainly due to interferences in the vehicular flow due to left turns, as well as obsolete traffic light cycles and insufficient vehicular capacity at the intersection in the future. In response, it was decided to develop a proposal to reduce vehicular delay through unconventional geometric redesign. In this case, the study site was the T-type intersection of Carretera Panamericana Norte and Av. Trapiche in the district of Comas, since high vehicular delays were evident. For this reason, the factors that cause vehicular delays were described, in addition to characterizing the vehicles and the traffic lights at the intersection. Considering this, the current state was represented by means of Vissim software and, based on this model, three proposals with unconventional geometric designs were elaborated in the same software. Finally, the microsimulation was carried out in each of them and, in the results of these three proposals, significant reductions in vehicle delays were evidenced. However, as a conclusion, two winning proposals were chosen: the one with the best results and the most viable one. The first was the Three-way directional intersection with a 88.33% reduction in vehicle delay, while the second was the Adaptive Geometry intersection with a 78.37% reduction in its incident accesses.
