In 1953, the Puerto Rico Department of Transportation and Public Works implemented a major renumbering of its insular highways. Before 1953, highway routes were numbered in the 1 to just over 100 range and were distributed randomly throughout the island, resulting in several routes with long road lengths. The numbering system adopted in 1953, which is in use today, increased the range of route numbers from the just-over-100 to 999, resulting in a decrease in the length of many routes. This new numbering system follows a grid pattern for highways numbered between 100 and 999, with the lower numbered roads found to the west and systematically increasing towards 999 as the traveler moves easterly. Although PR-1, PR-2 and PR-3 routes had notable changes in some of their segments, these three a

  • En 1953, el Departamento de Transportación y Obras Públicas (DTOP) de Puerto Rico implementó una nueva numeración de sus carreteras insulares.​ Antes de 1953, las rutas se numeraban en el rango del 1 hasta poco más de 100 y se distribuían aleatoriamente en toda la isla, lo que hacía que varios caminos tuvieran una longitud extensa.​ La numeración actual aumentó el rango del 1 al 999, causando una disminución en la longitud de muchas vías.​ Este nuevo rango sigue un patrón de cuadrícula para las carreteras entre 100 y 999, causando un aumento en sus números de oeste a este. Aunque las rutas , PR-2 y tuvieron cambios notables en algunos de sus segmentos, son las únicas vías que mantuvieron sus números intactos debido a su importancia interregional.​ (es)
