'''Puerto Rico Highway 3''' '''(PR-3)''' at nearly 100 miles long,<ref name="Google PR-3N"/><ref name="Google PR-3S"/> is the second-longest highway on [[Puerto Rico]] (after [[Puerto Rico Highway 2|PR-2]]). It connects the [[San Juan, Puerto Rico|San Juan]] neighborhood of [[Río Piedras, Puerto Rico|Río Piedras]] to downtown [[Salinas, Puerto Rico|Salinas]] indirectly around the eastern coast of the island.<ref name="DTOP">{{cite web |url=http://act.dtop.pr.gov/index.php/download/traffic-data-report-2000-2009/?wpdmdl=528 |title=Datos de Transito 2000-2009 |last=Puerto Rico Department of Transportation and Public Works |author-link=Puerto Rico Department of Transportation and Public Works |language=es |access-date=April 23, 2019 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190401220153/http://act.dtop.pr.gov/index.php/download/traffic-data-report-2000-2009/?wpdmdl=528 |archive-date=April 1, 2019}}</ref> Highway 3 ranges from a three lane urban avenue in San Juan to a one lane rural road past Fajardo. While other roads connect San Juan, it runs the coastline of Puerto Rico east of [[San Juan, Puerto Rico|San Juan]], beginning in [[Río Piedras, Puerto Rico|Río Piedras]] near [[Santurce, San Juan, Puerto Rico|Santurce]] (where it is known as the {{lang|es-pr|Avenida 65 de Infantería}}) and goes to [[Fajardo, Puerto Rico|Fajardo]] where it goes south paralleling the coastline to [[Humacao, Puerto Rico|Humacao]] and [[Maunabo, Puerto Rico|Maunabo]]. It goes up to a mountain-scenic route and goes west to Salinas, where it meets PR-1.<ref name="FHA-NHS-PR3">{{cite map |title=National Highway System - Fajardo Map  |url=https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/national_highway_system/nhs_maps/puerto_rico/fajardo_pr.pdf |author= Federal Highway Administration |publisher = Federal Highway Administration |access-date=21 February 2019}}</ref><ref name="FHA-NHS-PR">{{cite map |title=National Highway System - Puerto Rico Map  |url=https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/national_highway_system/nhs_maps/puerto_rico/pr_puertorico.pdf |author= Federal Highway Administration |publisher = Federal Highway Administration |access-date=21 February 2019}}</ref>

==Route description==

===San Juan to Río Grande===
PR-3 begins at an intersection with [[Puerto Rico Highway 1|PR-1]] in [[San Juan, Puerto Rico|San Juan]] as the three lane [[65th Infantry Regiment (United States)|65th Infantry Regiment]] Avenue. Heading east through San Juan, Highway 3 functions as an urban boulevard with both at-grade and grade-separated intersections becoming decidedly suburban in character past the [[Puerto Rico Highway 26|PR-26/66]] overpass near downtown [[Carolina, Puerto Rico|Carolina]]. Recently, PR-66 was opened and it has controlled the high traffic on PR-3.

</gallery>

===Río Grande to Fajardo===
It is a divided highway to Fajardo, and the only main highway connecting Fajardo to [[Río Grande, Puerto Rico|Río Grande]]. In Fajardo, PR-53 begins and PR-3 becomes a one-lane per direction rural road, and keeps that way for the rest of its length, though there are some minor divided segments in Humacao near Junquito, a very small segment near Patagonia (close to its intersection with [[Puerto Rico Highway 30|PR-30]]) and another segment in Arroyo and Guayama for about nearly 10 kilometers.

===Municipalities served===
The following are the municipalities through which PR-3 passes:

{{div col|colwidth=10em}}
* [[San Juan, Puerto Rico|San Juan]]
* [[Carolina, Puerto Rico|Carolina]]
* [[Canóvanas, Puerto Rico|Canóvanas]]
* [[Loíza, Puerto Rico|Loíza]]
* [[Río Grande, Puerto Rico|Río Grande]]
* [[Luquillo, Puerto Rico|Luquillo]]
* [[Fajardo, Puerto Rico|Fajardo]]
* [[Ceiba, Puerto Rico|Ceiba]]
* [[Naguabo, Puerto Rico|Naguabo]]
* [[Humacao, Puerto Rico|Humacao]]
* [[Yabucoa, Puerto Rico|Yabucoa]]
* [[Maunabo, Puerto Rico|Maunabo]]
* [[Patillas, Puerto Rico|Patillas]]
* [[Arroyo, Puerto Rico|Arroyo]]
* [[Guayama, Puerto Rico|Guayama]]
* [[Salinas, Puerto Rico|Salinas]]
{{div col end}}

[[Loíza, Puerto Rico|Loíza]] is the only coastal municipality not served by PR-3 in its length through the east shore until its intersection with PR-1 in Salinas. PR-188 serves as the main artery from the highway to Loíza. The remaining coasts of Puerto Rico (west of San Juan and west of Salinas) are served by PR-1 (West Salinas, Santa Isabel, Juana Díaz and East Ponce) and PR-2 (the rest of the coastline though some municipalities are not directly served). In Maunabo and south Yabucoa, PR-3 is not the main "at-grade" artery since it goes up in the mountains. PR-901 is the main at grade road in this segment of about 10 kilometers.

===Puerto Rico Highway 53===
{{Main|Puerto Rico Highway 53}}

Just like PR-22 parallels PR-2 and PR-52 parallels PR-1, PR-53 is the toll highway which parallels PR-3 and they have several exit intersections. Yet, PR-53 has not been completed and PR-3 serves as the main road in the southeastern part of Puerto Rico going from Yabucoa to Guayama, though [[Puerto Rico Highway 901|PR-901]] serves as a primary road (because it is shorter through it) between Yabucoa and Maunabo.
