This article aims to automatically obtain the geometrical inventory of road cross‐sections (i.e., number of lanes, width of the roadway, width of the shoulders, width of the lanes, superelevation) using a mobile laser scanning (MLS) system. Because of the large amount of data captured by the MLS, we have developed a methodology that is based on a process of segmentation, classification, and extraction, which allows us to determine the geometrical cross‐section parameters. The process was validated with real data from motorways, and satisfactory results were obtained in the analyzed scenarios.
