One of the main problems of urban road networks is the imbalance between supply and demand associated with the massive use of motorized transport, which leads to frequent traffic congestion in sensitive areas and structuring road axes of these territories. This phenomenon is one of the causes of increased levels of noise and pollution and lack of road safety in urban centers that directly affect the quality of life of populations. In order to study the impact of several changes in the road network and transportation system of the city of Guimar{\~a}es, this article presents the procedure for modeling and allocating traffic to the city{\textquoteright}s road network through the use of PTV Visum software. In this context a possible conclusion of the ring road - main arterial route of the city, by the slope of Monte da Penha, was studied for the morning and afternoon peak hours. In order to carry out this study, the Origin-Destination matrix was estimated for those two periods, which allowed to conclude that the traffic volume in the area of the ring road already constructed will suffer a reduction, while in the city center roads the changes in traffic flows will be insignificant.
