The process of maintenance of urban roads shows technical difficulties to delineate a specific plan that can be used during the elaboration of guidelines for evaluation and restoration of pavements. Most field decisions on pavement maintenance, such as repairs in the drainage facilities, although aiming to soive an immediate solution for some problems, however, with arguable effectiveness. The origins of the problems are associates the parameters that demand deepened studies, on cause and effect, what without this knowledge it can be contributed for the aggravation and the sprouting of other problems. The objective of this work consists of considering a method of evaluation, maintenance and restoration of the conditions of surface of pavements of urban ways, that serves of base to define the standards and causes of the defects of the surface of the floors, as weil as suggestions for its corrections. The employed methodology is based on the capture of photographic registers of the defects of surface of existing flexible pavements in the Campina Grande city, with posterior analysis, through consultation the norms of the ABNT, specific references, manual of the DNIT, of the AASHTO, SHRP, SHAHIN, and others. As final results, one got an inventory of the surface defects and a manual of evaluation, maintenance and restoration of the conditions of surface of urban pavements of the Campina Grande city with definition, cause, levels of deterioration, measurement and suggestion for corrections. Of this the elaborated Manual consists of a promising tool for the activities of maintenance of urban pavements, and to give to the technician of public and private agencies subsidies for improvement of the conditions of urban ways of more efficient form.
