 INTRODUCTION
In every nation or country within its territory, there are communication routes.
in which these are used for trade, education, import and export
of raw and processed material.
For a government to have these routes classified according to the type of route both
in its function and characteristics, it gives an advantage in managing its plans and
execution of your projects since these will be within reach of all your
territory.
Since ancient times, human beings have had the need to communicate,
reason for which various mechanisms were created to achieve this objective.
The main way to communicate between various communities has proven to be
the creation of paths, which over time have been modified
and perfecting, bringing with it the development of civilizations.

The constant use of the road network, combined with the lack of maintenance of the
same, the continuous river rains, construction without technical criteria,
etc. have brought with them a series of problems such as: sinkholes, cracks,
cracks and holes that pose a risk to pedestrians, who in their

social, hinders the progress of a particular community.

In our region, we can observe that some of the roads are

through these ways she feels more secure and satisfied.
 CAPITULO I: OBJETIVOS

GENERAL OBJECTIVE
Have knowledge about road classification in Peru.

2. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE
gather information about road classification
create a source of information for the other colleagues
 CHAPTER II: THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

2.1. VIA O CAMINO

The concept of a route has various uses linked to the place through which it goes.

circulates or moves. The route, in this sense, is a path.

It can be about the space that, in cities, allows people to

vehicles circulate and access the buildings that are located at their
sides. Below the tracks is the service infrastructure.
public utilities such as the electricity grid, telephone wires, or water
drinkable.

Way can be used as a synonym for street, avenue, passage, promenade.

path, walk or avenue, among other terms, although each one usually
to have a more specific meaning (an avenue is a very wide street).

2.2. ROAD NETWORK

A set of terrestrial pathways that constitute a cellular structure that

shelters inside and connects to each other, the set of cores that form the
own city, allowing for movement and communication between the
different development poles (production, housing, education, recreation,
services, etc.)
The road network refers to the set of roads and highways that exist in
a specific area - a city, a region, a nation - and that allows the
 movement of vehicles between two points of the same, linking
in addition, this region is connected to the other external roads that surround it.

Basically, two main types of networks can be differentiated: networks

urban roads and interurban or rural ones.

2.3. CLASSIFICATION OF THE NATIONAL ROAD NETWORK

By Supreme Decree No. 017-2007-MTC of May 27, 2007, it

approves the Road Hierarchy Regulation for Peru.
The Regulation defines the Road Network as a set of
roads that belong to the same functional classification (National,
Departmental or Regional and Neighborhood or Rural.

It is also defined as a 'Route' to a path defined between two points.

determined, with origin, itinerary, and destination duly identified; the
Route classifier is the Official document of the National System
Highways - SINAC, issued by the Ministry of Transport and
Communications, which includes the existing and planned roads,
classified as National Road Network, Departmental or Regional Road Network and
Neighborhood or Rural Road Network.
2.3.1. NATIONAL ROAD NETWORK
It corresponds to the roads of national interest formed by
the main longitudinal and transverse axes that constitute
the basis of the National Highway System (SINAC). It serves as
receiving element of the Departmental or Regional roads
and of the Local or Rural Roads.

LONGITUDINAL COAST

LONGITUDINAL SIERRA
 LONGITUDINAL JUNGLE

2.3.2. DEPARTMENTAL OR REGIONAL ROAD NETWORK

Formed by the roads that make up the road network
restricted to the scope of a regional government. It basically articulates
to the National Road Network with the Neighborhood or Rural Road Network.

It has complementary or feeder roads to the road network

National and serves as a receiving element of the roads of the Network
Neighborhood or Rural Road.

2.3.4. LOCAL OR RURAL ROAD

Made up of the roads that make up the road network
limited to the local scope, whose function is to articulate the capitals
of provinces with district capitals, these among themselves, with centers
towns or local influence areas and with the national road networks
and departmental or regional.
Its main objective is to serve as a unifying element and
communication between the main populated centers, between the
production centers of the area to which they belong, among themselves and with

the rest of the country, connecting with the Departmental Road Network or
Regional and/or of the National Road Network.

For the classification of the routes, the following have been respected
criteria for road hierarchy:
They are part of the National Road Network, the roads that meet
any of the following criteria:
Interconnecting the country longitudinally or transversely,
allowing the connection with neighboring countries.

Interconnect the departmental capitals.

Regularly support long-distance national transit

the international movement of people and/or goods, facilitating the

internal trade or foreign trade.

Articulate the national ports and/or airports or

international, as well as national railways.

Interconnect the main production centers with the

main consumption centers.

They are part of the Departmental or Regional Road Network, the

roads that meet any of the following

criteria:
Interconnect the capital of the department with the capitals of
provinces or each other.

Mainly facilitate the transportation of people and the

trade exchange at the regional or departmental level and that
they influence the regional economic movement.

Interconnect capitals of districts belonging to more than

a province or allow the formation of circuits with others
departmental or national roads.

Articulate the regional ports and/or airports.

 They are part of the Neighborhood or Rural Road Network, those others

roads not included in the National Road Network or in the Network

Departmental or Regional Road.

2.4. WHAT ARE ROAD SYSTEMS AND CLASSIFICATION

IN PERU?
It presents the Classifications of the Road Network, according to different
factors, functional, geometric, demand and geographic, that
allow clearly defining the Category and Hierarchy of a Road in
Peru, in order to allow the use of geometric features in accordance with
The Importance of the Road in Study.

partial access. It will be referred to by the acronym MC
(Multilane).

1st Class Highways

They are those with an IMDA between 4000-2001 vehicles/day of

a two-lane road (DC).

[Link]. SECOND CLASS ROADS

They are those of a two-lane road (DC) that
they support between 2000-400 vehicles/day.

3rd Class Roads

They are those of a roadway that support less than
400 vehicles/day. The design of roads in the neighborhood system
200 vehicles/day are governed by the regulations issued by the MTC

for that purpose and that do not form part of this

Manual.

[Link]. VEHICULAR PATHS

It is the lowest category of passable road for
motor vehicles. Built with a minimum of
earthmoving, which allows.

2.4.3. ACCORDING TO OROGRAPHIC CONDITIONS:

TYPE 1 ROADS

Allows heavy vehicles to maintain approximately the

same speed as that of light vehicles. The inclination
 the width of the land, perpendicular to the axis of the road, is less than or equal to

10%.

TYPE 2 ROADS

It is the combination of horizontal and vertical alignment that forces

heavy vehicles to reduce their speeds
significantly below those of the vehicles of
passengers, without causing them to operate at speeds
held on a ramp for a long period of time. The
transverse slope of the terrain, normal to the axis of the road, varies
between 10 and 50%.

TYPE 3 ROADS

It is the combination of horizontal and vertical alignment that compels

heavy vehicles to reduce to a sustained speed on slopes
over considerable distances or at frequent intervals. The
transversal slope of the terrain, normal to the axis of the track, varies
between 50 and 100%.

TYPE 4 ROADS

It is the combination of horizontal and vertical alignment that forces

heavy vehicles to operate at lower speeds
supported on ramps than those that operate on land
mountainous, for significant distances or at very intervals
frequent. The cross slope of the land, normal to the axis of
the route is over 100%.

2.5. CLASSIFICATION OF URBAN ROADS

Urban roads are classified mainly by their functionality: they are
used by pedestrians and various types of private vehicles, vehicles of
public transport vehicles for the delivery of goods and vehicles and
public service machines.

2. 6.1. RESULTS
The road network in Peru has a length of 120,047.
kilometers of highways1, and is made up of:
i) The National Road Network, with a length of 23,075 Km and
made up of the main longitudinal axes and
transverse roads in the country. 54% of this road network has some
type of pavement and 46% is still at base level
granular affirmed, unconfirmed or on a trail. As for the
condition of its surface, around 71% is
in good or fair condition for traffic and 29% in
bad conditions.
ii) The Departmental or Regional Road Network, with a length of
of 25,329 Km, is comprised of the roads
of second level; only 8% of this road network is found
paved and 92% unpaved. Currently, close to
61% are in good or fair condition and 36% in
bad or very bad condition.
iii) The Neighborhood or Rural Road Network, with a total length of
71,643 Km, made up of local level roads,
presents a paving condition in only 2% and the
rest at the level of trails or unpaved.
Investments in the National Road Network; In recent years the
public investment of the National Road Network (Provías Nacional)
shows sustained growth of S/. 654 million in the year
2006 to S/. 3,666 million in the year 2011 (Graph No. 1); and the execution
total investment budget of the Ministry of Transport and
Communications (MTC) has notably improved, from 68.5% in the
2008 to 97.0% in 2011, which reflects a management
efficient budgetary, which is allowing to meet and exceed
the scheduled goals, mainly in improvement,
rehabilitation and maintenance of roads. Chart No. 01
