There aren't much highways here. The only two I remember for
long-distance trips are the one going from Buenos Aires to Rosario,
and the other from Buenos Aires to Mar del Plata. The rest are usual
2-track roads. Maximum speed is usually 100-130 km/h, except when the
road goes thru towns, there you have to go below 40.
The national roads are usually usable, but that depends on where you
go. FOr Tierra del Fuego you don't even have a direct road, you have
to cross to Chile and then come back. If you're going along the Andes,
you'll probably take the 40, which is not paved in some places.
Tincho.
