Abstract:	The study addresses the problems related to vehicular traffic on roads with high congestion in cities with populations of less than one million inhabitants, which characterizes them as intermediate cities, approaching the particular situation in the capital of the Northeastern part of Colombia, in one of its main arteries. The research reflects a diagnosis of the situation, in an area of high vehicular mobility, especially related to private motorized transport, and/or collective and private public transport, which shows the deterioration generated in the infrastructure, as well as conflicts in the planning and organization of urban mobility. An analysis of the current condition is made, measuring traffic engineering parameters by collecting information directly in the field, such as traffic speeds, phases in electronic devices, traffic lights, queue length, waiting times; and then apply the Vissim software, which allows to propose strategies in the short, medium and long term, through a multimodal simulation and 3D visualizations, proposing low cost solutions and positive impact, both in the road network, road operation, control systems and traffic management. These factors make this digital tool very attractive, as it allows and calibrates the parameters, adapting them to the local context according to the particular characteristics of the area.
