The avenue is the principal exit for this community to get to their final destinations to work or study, we can see that there is also pedestrian and bycicle paths that goes on the same direction as the vehicle avenue. The invisible factors extracted from this photo are, first the congestion that will be generated on peak hours due to the lack of planning of the neighborhood making only one big avenue to connect the people who live it in. Second there is a present risk for the pedestrians who have to pass through the avenue because there are no bridges or signs of stop for them to pass safety because of this on the peak hours it is very difficult to pass across the avenue specially for the oldest people. The first invisible factor extracted from this picture can be used for the urban planners to get a better perspective when designing suburban neighborhoods. It is important to visualice the amount of people who will live in this communities and planned the roads necessary for them to get to their destinations on the center of the city. Making studies about the origin and destinations of the inhabitants and finding the method they use to get to their destinations would help to get a better perspective on how to construct the neighborhood and what bus rutes are necessary for the people of this community.
