Traditionally, mobility problems and automobile traffic congestion have increased in cities around the world due to the urban development process, especially in the city of Metropolitan Lima. For this reason, the government of the Peruvian capital has established temporary detours in certain sections of the arterial roads of the network, to invite new cyclists, due to the effects of Covid-19. Today, Lima has a network of 294 km of bicycle lanes, which have been implemented without adequate planning. In view of this, we evaluated the risk of poor planning on the vulnerable user (the cyclist) at an intersection of this road network, with a high rate of motorized congestion. The main objective of this study has been to propose corrective actions to avoid the exposure to danger on the users of the bicycle lane (countermeasures); due to lack of safety at the intersection of La Marina Ave. and Universitaria Ave. In this sense, a risk matrix was developed with the most concurrent factors that occur at this intersection; to then obtain a risk level and take actions in each of them, to mitigate the impact. The result obtained in the analysis of this study for the intersection is classified as a level 2 risk: Important risk, which means that it presents several important danger factors. Finally, in addition to the analyses developed, a treatment scheme was proposed for the intersection to provide greater safety to the users of the bicycle lane, avoiding fatal and non-fatal accidents.
