Hello - if anyone can create a map for this article, that would great! It's low priority now, but I hope to improve it to B-class soon. Cheers, Raime 04:34, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Request for road maps for PR-52 and PR-22. These two articles are currently showing a generic map of paper Interstate roads in Puerto Rico. Thank you! Mercy11 (talk) 06:48, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Accepted. Please remember, the rules on this page only allow you to request one map at a time. –Fredddie 15:32, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
Ouch. I didn't read first. My apologies. Mercy11 (talk) 15:39, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
I need some clarification. Are there any parts of PR-22 and PR-52 that are not part of PRI-1 and PRI-2? –Fredddie 02:49, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
I don't know the answer to that but, if I had to guess, I would would answer "No". However, in the next few days I will attempt to see if I find a concrete answer. Mercy11 (talk) 03:57, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
UPDATE: (***Note: In the message that follows, please pay close attention to the naming of the roads, in particular, PRI-2 and PR-2 refer to "different" roads, in the sense that PR-2 is (believed to be) a subset of PRI-2.***)
To answer your question above, I have not been able to find anything that says, for example,
  • "No section of PR-52 is a part of PRI-1" nor anything that says,
  • "No section of PR-22 is a part of PRI-2."
With that said, I tend to believe that PR-52 and PRI-1 are the same road, but it is signed PR-52 (and it is unsigned PRI-1).
Also with that said, the situation with PR-22/PRI-2 is probably a bit more complicated. I tend to believe that all of PR-22 is actually part of PRI-2, but it is signed PR-22 (and it is unsigned PRI-2). The reason I say it is more complicated is three-fold:
(1) The unsigned PRI-2 appears to be made up of roads with two different signs: PR-2 and PR-22
(2) The PR-22 appears to be a perfect subset of PRI-2.
(3) The new PR-22 is being built virtually parallel to PR-2. And, it appears that as new sections of this new superhighway PR-22 are opened to traffic, it takes on the unsigned ID of PRI-2 from the older, narrower, and (again) parallel PR-2 that it is "replacing", and which used to be IDed "PRI-2" (Old sections of PR-2 which have not yet been "replaced" by the new PR-22 continue to be part of PRI-2).
In essense, the apparent implication of these three above is that "Not just sections of PR-22 are part of PRI-2, but indeed all of PR-22 is a part of PRI-2 (with parts of PR-2 making up the rest of PRI-2)."
I hope this was not confusing, but that it all makes sense to you. If you want sources that led me to believe as I believe, let me know and I'll try to go back and find them all. Again, there appears to be no source(s) that explicitly say what you want, but these deductions can be inferred from the various sources. Regards, Mercy11 (talk) 22:23, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
