And the impacts that deal with socioeconomic issues are directly directed to economic and social activities in the affected region and where the highway passes, changing the routine of the local population, causing inconvenience arising from the works, we can mention, among these setbacks, the air particles, polluting gases, noise, or any situation that affects residents, local fauna and flora, and consequently, the ecosystem as a whole. In this sense, guidelines need to be adopted so that its effects are minimized and bring a better quality of life to users and residents bordering the highway.
