'''The highway system in Puerto Rico''' was established in 1952 and is maintained by the Puerto Rico Department of Transportation and Public Works (Departmento de Transportación y Obras Públicas).
The highway system in Puerto Rico is divided into four different classes: the Primary Network, the Urban Primary Network, the Secondary Network, and the Tertiary Network (Spanish: ''Red Primaria'', ''Red Primaria Urbana'', ''Red Secundaria'', and ''Red Terciaria'', respectively). Highways may change between networks and retain their same numbers.
==List of Highways==
Below is a list of highways in Puerto Rico (only highways which have at least a section as a primary or urban primary are listed) along with the municipalities where they end. ''Italics'' indicates a proposed highway.

==Interstates==
[[Image:Puerto Rico Interstates.svg|thumb|300px|Map]]
There are three officially designated '''[[Interstate Highways in Puerto Rico]]'''. As with [[Interstate Highways in Alaska]] and [[Interstate H-1|Hawaii]], these routes do not connect to the [[United States]] Interstate Highway system, but still receive funding in a similar fashion to the Interstates in the contiguous US.
As with Interstate routes in [[Alaska]] (but not [[Hawaii]]), they are unsigned Interstate routes. The designated routes of the three routes — officially PR-1, PR-2 and PR-3 — run along various combinations of Puerto Rico routes. They do not follow the rules of even and odd numbers determining direction.
Puerto Rico's interstate highways are not entirely controlled-access. Speed limits are limited to 55 mph (90 km/h) to 65mph (106 km/h). Puerto Rico's [[superhighway]]s are the [[Autopistas de Puerto Rico|Autopistas]], which are not funded by the Eisenhower Interstate System, but by a system of [[toll plaza|toll]]s.

==[[Autopistas de Puerto Rico|Autopistas]] (Expressways)==
Controlled-access highways in Puerto Rico, many (but not all) which are tolled. All Autopistas are signed either as primary or as primary urban routes.
*[[Puerto Rico Highway 2|PRI-2]] (Guaynabo to San Juan; San German to Peñuelas)
*[[Puerto Rico Highway 5|PR-5]] (Tollway)
*[[Puerto Rico Highway 18|PR-18]]
*[[Puerto Rico Highway 20|PR-20]] (Tollway)
*[[Puerto Rico Highway 22|PR-22]] (Tollway)
*[[Puerto Rico Highway 26|PR-26]]
*[[Puerto Rico Highway 30|PR-30]]
*[[Puerto Rico Highway 52|PR-52]] (Tollway)
*[[Puerto Rico Highway 53|PR-53]] (Tollway)
*[[Puerto Rico Highway 60|PR-60]]
*[[Puerto Rico Highway 66|PR-66]] (Tollway, partially opened)
==Concerns and Problems==
Several highways, like PR-2 (Expressway between San German and Peñuelas), PR-30 and PR-52 have serious problems with cracks. Due to the large numbers of trucks in the main highways, as well as the millions of cars which move in them weekly, Puerto Rico primary roads are usually affected by holes that have even been the cause of frequent tire damage and minor accidents. Even when the Department of Transportation repairs these highways with frequency, they are affected again months after the repair.
