In Peru, 10.4% of the population has at least one disability, 48.3% of which are visual. Despite this, inclusive designs have not been implemented in road environments in the Peruvian context, thus limiting access to information on the streets for people with visual impairment, making their movement in urban exteriors frustrating and unsafe. The theoretical basis of this research addresses theoretical concepts on visual impairment, traffic in Lima, under a mobility approach, road accessibility; as well as, design concepts such as: Human Centered Design, Expository Design and Universal Design. Currently in Peru, there are approximately 10% of acoustic systems for the blind throughout Metropolitan Lima, such as intelligent traffic lights located at some crosswalks, which warn users when it is safe to transit through a sound, however, due to the lack of adequate road culture, noise pollution from vehicles, as well as a State not involved that does not provide the necessary maintenance and care, these solutions fail to fully help visually impaired people, so that they depend on sighted users to cross the avenues. Consequently, Senda proposes the design of a road information system that allows people with severe to blindness visual impairment to cross streets safely and autonomously in the streets of Metropolitan Lima. The following research studies were conducted to better understand the needs of this social group: ethnographic study, empathy maps, shadowing, journey maps, empathic design; as well as interviews with blind users and validations with specialists in different fields. Senda provides the user with more road information when walking on the streets, giving them security and confidence to be able to perform these activities autonomously
