Résumé anglais Highways in the form of belts, loops and other bypasses have been built around and through Spanish cities since the 1950s. Since the middle of the 70s, principles of functional segregation may be observed with respect to these roads. Their circulatory dimension has been emphasized, and the concepters, incapable of reconciling speed, safety and the connection with the surroundings, have tried to limit the constraints which result in the areas where these roads are built, by progressively pushing the bypass further and further out from the center. In spite of the distance, and the ban on residents using bypasses, urban extension has shown a tendency to develop in the direction of the bypasses more than elsewhere, with growth rates generally higher outside the bypass than between the bypass and the city. It can then be observed, near bypasses and more particularly around the interchanges providing access to the center, the phenomenon of completely new kinds of urban models which are both original and functionally specialized, whose major charactersitic is a formal independence, not only with respect to the order of the city, but also with respect to the road.
