The present research results in the observation of a certain stretch of urban crossing used by pedestrians and/or cyclists in the municipality of Gurupi-TO. The municipality is cut perpendicularly by the BR-153, with the conflict between pedestrians who need to use this area and passenger and cargo vehicles. Usually, cities cut by stretches of highways have one side with greater development than the other, resulting in a constant flow of residents of the region, leaving these crossings dangerous due to the lack of elements that ensure the lives of the population. In a large population increase simultaneous with the disorderly growth of cities, pedestrian crossings, motorized and non-motorized vehicles become increasingly dangerous. As prevention and safety measures are necessary for users of these stretches, onegreater fluidity when traveling in the mentioned space The study aims to identify, through the quantitative method, the difficulties encountered by users in relation to crossings from one side of the city to the other, and seeks specific answers for the case that can be compared to the generic answers of other locations mentioned in the bibliography.
