In the present work, parking gauges and technical visual inspections have been carried out in the toll areas with the greatest problem of vehicular congestion in order to understand where there are greater demands and results are the main causes of this problem and in turn he proposed improvements, which we they can obtain positive results and are focused on efficient management according to the demand generated by users. Among the solutions that have been proposed is the construction of a building for parking, which will provide users with greater security and in turn will alleviate the great demand for places to park in the central helmet, as well as the creation of an orange tariff zone, the creation of a digital application for information and payments of the tariff zone, the improvement of public transport and the implementation of bicycle lanes and safe spaces where bicycles can be left.
