County Highway R3

August 3, 2002 - Philip J. Erdelsky, pje@efgh.com

Riverside County Highway R3 begins at an intersection with California Highway 79 between Temecula and Aguanga and runs north through Hemet and San Jacinto to another intersection with California Highway 79.

The portion in Hemet and San Jacinto is not marked by county highway signs, making it a bit uncertain where County Highway R3 really ends. However, for most highway users, an ending at the intersection with California Highway 79 is the most obvious and convenient.

The portion of County Highway R3 south of Wilson Valley Road was repaved in the first half of 2002, leaving some parts of the highway temporarily unpaved. However, the repaving is now finished.
