P.R. Laws tit. 23, § 62u
The Board shall request the Department of Transportation and Public Works to prepare a plot or plots indicating the exact position of the traces of future roads and streets. Said plot or plots shall contain the traces for the precise establishment of the lines of new, extended or widened roads and streets of Puerto Rico. Before adopting or amending these plots or maps, the Department of Transportation and Public Works shall hold public hearings, after giving at least five (5) days’ notice to the public of the time, place and nature thereof by publishing such notice in one of the newspapers of largest circulation in the community, as well as in any other manner which it deems appropriate. Once these plots or maps are approved by the Department of Transportation and Public Works, they shall have the force of law. For general convenience or information, the Board may likewise request of the Department of Transportation and Public Works an Official Road and Street Map of the Island. On the Official Road and Street Map there shall be shown:
(a) All roads and streets existing and established by law as public roads or streets at the time of the adoption of said Official Map.
(b) Position of all roads and streets shown on the plots of inscription recorded and approved by the Permit Management Office pursuant to the provisions of its organic act which shall be considered for the purpose of use and dedication as public ways.
(c) The preparation or adoption of any such maps, or the adoption of an Official Road and Street Map shall not of itself determine the construction of any road or street, or the condemnation or acceptance of lands for such road or street purposes.
