Puerto Rico has an extensive system of roads and [[highway]]s featuring tolled freeways (''[[freeway|autopista]]s''). Some are designated as [[Interstate Highways]]; although these routes do not connect to the [[contiguous United States]], and are unsigned as such, they still receive funding in a similar fashion to the other Interstates on the U.S. mainland. In total, there are more than 8,950 miles (14,400&nbsp;km, 1999 est.) of paved road. Some of the major highways are:

* '''[[Puerto Rico Highway 1|PR-1]]''' - Original main road between [[San Juan, Puerto Rico|San Juan]] and [[Ponce, Puerto Rico|Ponce]] before the completion of PR-52. It is now mostly used by people living nearby and as a scenic route.
