Traffic is getting increasingly chaotic and the jams are getting more and more frequent in such way that people's lives in cities are being affected with reduced quality of life due to the time spent to come and go for everyday tasks, therefore the importance of studying traffic demands for installation of cycle routes in order to contribute to the reduce the usage of motorized vehicles. This case study was held in the city of Presidente Epitácio-SP, applying 1763 questionnaires which were applied in a total of 41.511 inhabitants. The number of questionnaires that were applied were defined by the statistical method Simple Random Sampling (AAS). These data from the questionnaires resulted in matrices source destination, S/D, via Google Maps software, which allowed the research to obtain the main mode used, and the greater flow routes.
