In the popular imaginary, when we talk about 25 de Março Street, it immediately comes to people's minds the image of shopping on commemorative dates, street vendors and peddlers everywhere, stores with a diversity of products and, mainly, excellent prices, compared to other places of commerce in the city. The following study seeks to emphasize the importance of paying attention to mobility in the region, in order to facilitate the flow of pedestrian and vehicle traffic, especially to improve pedestrian mobility, and thereby increase the commercial potential and tourist attraction of the region.
