CRUCE SEGURO
Urban Design Project

This project is a joint venture between Godoylab (Emiliano Godoy), Amcat, CJcom, Grupo Zuma and the General Directorate of Urban Services in Mexico City. The program, called “Cruce Seguro” (Safe Crossway), has the main objective of renewing, replacing and organizing infrastructure in 459 dangerous intersections in Mexico City. Up to 25% of all roadway accidents in Mexico D.F. happen in these intersections.

The project’s main priorities were:

1. Increase pedestrian and vehicular safety
2. Give both pedestrians and vehicles certainty in the correct use of walkways and infrastructure
3. Recuperate public and green spaces
4. Prevent vehicular congestion
5. Design and provide infrastructure that creates a dignified pedestrian experience in the city
6. Create incentives for the use of public and other alternative forms of transport
7. Improve services for both public and alternative transport users

The diagrams below relate to the pilot project developed in Mexico City, in the intersection of two highly concentrated vehicular arteries; Monterrey and Insurgentes. The project began in November 2008.
