Abstract
In a modern society, transport is a necessity for carrying out certain activities that human communities are involved in. This need for mobility is on a continuous rise and can be characterized by the possibility of moving from one point to another, using different means of transport, in order to facilitate the performed activities. The purpose of this research is to design and evaluate the implementation of a system of reversible lanes using simulation. As methodology, it starts from an analysis of data collected from real traffic condition through implementation and simulation with the Synchro application. The analysis proposes solutions to decongest traffic through the implementation of reversible lanes and the simulation is performed again for impact assessment. Our results suggest that the implementation of reversible lanes can help to decongest traffic if complementary solutions are adopted. The approach can be used successfully in any scientific analysis and design approach to optimize traffic flows.

Urban traffic has developed as urban communities began to evolve, and the needs to transport and move began to grow
It influenced and in turn was influenced by the characteristics of economic and social development
Summary
In a modern society transport is a necessity for carrying out certain activities that human communities carry out. This need for mobility is on a continuous rise and can be characterized by the possibility of moving from one point to another, using different means of transport, in order to facilitate the performed activities. Transport is carried out in different ways such as roads, overhead and underground railways, water or air, for the purpose of passenger transport or freight transport. The development of cities and the increase in the number of inhabitants in the urban area have led to the increase in the number of means of transport which contradicted the road infrastructure, which was designed and adapted for the most part for reduced traffic.
