The city of Cusco, although charming and full of history, faces a critical challenge in terms of road accessibility, particularly for people with disabilities, and even more so for people with visual disabilities. Current road infrastructure does not meet the mobility needs of this population, highlighting the urgent need to address this issue in urban planning. In this context, the specific area of Av. Las Flores, from Prolongación Av. La Cultura to Prolongación Collasuyo, located in the district of San Sebastián, Cusco, has been chosen due to the concentration of points of interest for the visually impaired in this locality. This research mainly focuses on evaluating road accessibility in the study area using three methodologies: the Barcelona Urban Ecology Agency Methodology, the EMBARQ Mexico Sustainable Transportation Center Methodology, and the AWS Brazil Methodology. Each methodology considers different indicators that evaluate both the percentage and the degree of accessibility in the study area. The results of the evaluation indicate that, according to the Methodology of the Barcelona Urban Ecology Agency, 10% of the evaluated area has good accessibility, 45% has sufficient accessibility, 35% has insufficient accessibility and 10% has very insufficient accessibility. According to the Methodology of the EMBARQ Mexico Sustainable Transportation Center, 20% of the evaluated area has limited accessibility and 80% has insufficient accessibility. Finally, according to the AWS Brazil Methodology, 85% of the evaluated area has moderaterestricted accessibility and 15% is inaccessible. Finally, improvements were proposed in the indicators of the independent variables: urban infrastructure (restructuring of some areas), signage (proposal of a tactile system), furniture (redistribution of furniture), and sidewalk characteristics in the study area (resizing of sidewalks according to evaluation methodologies and existing standards). These proposals, evaluated by the three aforementioned methodologies, reflect positive results regarding the existence of accessibility in the study area.
