The road network is a national wealth, which is necessary: to protect, to preserve, to increase and to improve; tosupport the socioeconomic development of our country. The activity of maintenance, it constitutes a determinantfactor that guarantees the satisfactory operation of the transport during the useful life of the ways; in his differentmodalities. The absence of a preventive maintenance and of a corrective late maintenance, it drives to that therealized investment suffers a more intensive depreciation, shortening his useful life; obtaining a degree of minorutilization that is translated in a decrease of the estimated benefits, since the profitability will not be able to be idealon having neglected this function. Often, vehicle operating costs, exceed the costs of road departments by a factor of 10 or more, especially in high-volume road traffic. (Zaniewski, 1989). Therefore, The cost (economics) of usersshould be taken into account when designing the construction of a road. For this reason, the Government ofNicaragua, in conjuction with the relevant institutions have assumed a primary role in the implementation andmaintenance of the road network. This test tries to contribute qualitative and quantitative elements, for the analysisand improvement of the Road Network.
