Talk:Puerto Rico Highway 52

message: I know I'm just stirring up trouble here, but hear me out. In the article it says, "The combined route of PR-18 and PR-52 is coterminous with the unsigned Interstate Highway PRI-1". All the PRI-1 links are redirected here, to PR-52, which only forms segment of PRI-1... not the whole route. Yes, I know the interstate is unsigned and is probably never referred to except when dishing out government money, but as I see it we can fix this in two ways. The first, which probably nobody will like, will create a PRI-1 article describing each of the the PR-52 and PR-18 routes under a section. The second option, which is really simple, is to briefly describe PRI-1 (and the other two PR Interstates) at Interstate Highways in Puerto Rico article, making links to PR-52, PR-18, and whatever routes form part of the Interstate. I know this is just the first PR route article created, but this is just something to think about. --TinMan 19:09, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

text: Interstate PR-1 was formerly the main highway connecting San Juan and Ponce.  Nowadays it is used as an alternate route of PR-52/18 and for local traffic.  I do not know if any section of PRI-1 is even controlled-access, the Autopistas are all controlled-access.  Interstate highways in Puerto Rico and Alaska are not required to meet interstate standards.  In sections that are coterminous with an Autopista, the Autopistas are far more used for traveling larger distances.  Andros 1337 18:38, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Just a comment on this one quote from the end of the intro, "Puerto Rico's only rest area is on this expressway. The rest area has no relief, vending, or service facilities such as a restaurant or a gas station." This statement is untrue, there are many rest areas along the highway. From Ponce to San Juan there are 5 rest areas that I know for fact. From Arecibo to San Juan I think there are at least 4. And from San Juan to Humacao there are at least 2, maybe more depending on the route you. All of the rest stops have restrooms and vending machines, but it's true that there are no restaurants or gas stations.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.142.130.46 (talk) 23:26, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

message: The history of PR-52 contains several factual errors but I cannot find references at this moment to make the proper corrections and citations in this regard. Most are from my own recollection by being a frequent user of PR-52 in Ponce in those years. The errors are the following:
1. Construction started in October 1968: Governor Luis A. Ferré was elected on November 1968 and was in office from January 1969 through January 1973.  This date cannot be possibly correct if this project was conceived and started during his administration.
2. Construction took place during administration of Luis A. Ferré: It actually happened over the administrations of several governors, including Luis A. Ferré, Rafael Hernández Colón, Carlos Romero Barceló and Pedro Rosselló.
3. The road was concluded in 1975: The last strecth of the original route between PR-1 in Río Piedras and PR-1 in Ponce was opened in 1980 by my own recollection (need to find a reference for this) with the section between Caguas and Río Piedras that includes the (then) largest toll plaza (Caguas Norte).
4. In 1988-90 (approximate dates), the southern terminus in Ponce at PR-1 which consisted of simple ramps and a traffic light at PR-1 was replaced with a cloverleaf interchange (which became exits 99A and 99B) and PR-52 was further extended to end at another cloverleaf interchange (exits 104A and 104B) right before the future Ponce toll plaza.  This interchange was the new southern terminus of PR-52 and connected to PR-14 (now called PR-12 Avenida Santiago de los Caballeros).  This section after the old terminus was opened some time in the early 1990s and not when the new interchange was built.
5. Construction continued on the last stretch between the PR-12 interchange and the current terminus in the interchange with PR-2.  This section, including the Ponce toll plaza was inaugurated between 1996-97.

thread_title:  A few factual errors 

message: Is the unsigned Interstate highway served by PR-18 and PR-52 designated "Interstate PR-1" or "Interstate PRI-1"?  I've seen both versions (in text and Interstate shields on articles).  If this issue can be resolved, that would be great.  Allen (talk) 17:26, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

message: I was wondering, since I don't see it in the article: would the addition of the Dynamic Toll Lane, aka carril reversible, be included in this article as well as the article for PR-18? Moony483 (talk) 21:21, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
