In the last decade the spaces of the mobility system are being analyzed from new approaches. Approaches that integrate theoretical approaches of different disciplines and that advance on the traditional engineering conception of infrastructures. In line with these new studies, a methodology linking two scales of analysis is presented, the first contextualizes the road system to understand its role in the territorial system it integrates and the second details its properties by applying a system of design parameters, with the in order to understand its impact on mobility, accessibility and urban habitability. The work proposes as a case of application for this methodology to the city of La Plata, from considering it a representative case of the set of intermediate Argentine cities. These cities have experienced significant changes in their mobility as a result of the urban expansion of recent decades, without the backing of management instruments that contemplate the road system in an integrated manner. The communication presents a review of the most important literature on urban analysis and design, delves deeply into the proposed methodology, evidences the results of the case and synthetically presents reflections on the analytical scales and the key criteria that should favor the design and organization of the road system
