    Análisis de Coherencia del Sistema Jurídico de Movilidad Respecto del Peatón Años 2013 a 2023
    Oliveros Melo Ferley; Vivas Molina Gissel Dainne
    The high number of pedestrian deaths in Colombia highlights the state's failure to guarantee quality public services in terms of road safety. This problem has remained constant over time, normalizing a situation that should generate an urgent response from society and institutions. Statistics for the period 2013-2023 show no significant reduction in the number of pedestrian deaths, indicating a lack of effective action to address the causes of the problem. From a constitutional and legal point of view, this situation is unjustifiable, as the Colombian legal system has clear rules aimed at protecting pedestrians as particularly vulnerable users of the road system. Consequently, the problem does not lie in the absence of regulation, but in the insufficient enforcement and control of constitutional and legal mandates that impose on the State and private individuals the duty to guarantee the safety and integrity of pedestrians. This situation allows us to infer two possible explanations: either the authorities are unaware of their obligations towards pedestrians, or there is a lack of effective control mechanisms to ensure compliance with their duty to protect them.
