Resumen

The Central Road is the most connected road between the capital and cities of the jungle and the highlands in Peru. Nowadays, this road suffers from intense traffic jams that excessively delay time travel. Moreover, it is vulnerable to closures due to natural and human factors. Also, there is a proliferation of reckless drivers who do not care about speeding and cause terrible accidents. Hence, the current research explores whether the speeding record affected the occurrence of accidents on this road. After applying the Logit regression, it was possible to find that only recording speeding beyond 30 kilometers per hour over the limit was relevant to prevent accidents. It was also suggested that the speedometer should track 24 hours a day along with measures to improve the infrastructure of this road.
