Abstract

The neighborhood Élisson Prieto, or “Ocupação do Glória”, as it popularly known, it’s an area located alongside of BR-050 road, in the eastern part of Uberlândia city, that is now in process of land regulamentation by the Companhia de Habitação do Estado de Minas Gerais (Cohab-MG). The infrastructure of the region is precarious, because there are unpaved roads; there is no sewer system, water supply and electrical grid. The area was urbanistically and intuitively planned by the residents and collaborators. Even tough, the streets are delimitated, there are numbered lots, mostly, residences and some trade points, characteristics that were verified through weekly field visits in the two-month period. This paper aims to perform a traffic study of neighborhood Élisson Prieto, classifying its streets according to its functions and excecute a horizontal and vertical signalization project in order to reduce traffic problems in the neighborhood because of the lack of technical planning.
