Click here for a key to the symbols used. "LRN" refers to the Pre-1964 Legislative Route Number. "US" refers to a US Shield signed route. "I" refers to an Eisenhower Interstate signed route. "Route" usually indicates a state shield signed route, but said route may be signed as US or I. Previous Federal Aid (pre-1992) categories: Federal Aid Interstate (FAI); Federal Aid Primary (FAP); Federal Aid Urban (FAU); and Federal Aid Secondary (FAS). Current Functional Classifications (used for aid purposes): Principal Arterial (PA); Minor Arterial (MA); Collector (Col); Rural Minor Collector/Local Road (RMC/LR). Note that ISTEA repealed the previous Federal-Aid System, effective in 1992, and established the functional classification system for all public roads.

State Route 193



Routing
  1. From Route 65 near Lincoln to Route 80 near Newcastle.

    Upon a determination by the commission that it is in the best interests of the state to do so, the commission may, upon terms and conditions approved by it, relinquish to the City of Lincoln the portion of Route 193 that is located within the city limits of that city if the city agrees to accept it. The following conditions shall apply upon relinquishment: (1) The relinquishment shall become effective on the date following the county recorder's recordation of the relinquishment resolution containing the commission's approval of the terms and conditions of the relinquishment. (2) On and after the effective date of the relinquishment, the relinquished portion of Route 193 shall cease to be a state highway. (3) The portion of Route 193 relinquished under this subdivision shall be ineligible for future adoption under Section 81. (4) For the portion of Route 193 relinquished under this subdivision, the City of Lincoln shall apply for approval of a Business Route designation for the relinquished portion of the highway in accordance with Chapter 20, Topic 21, of the Highway Design Manual. (5) For the portion of Route 193 relinquished under this subdivision, the City of Lincoln shall install and maintain within its jurisdiction signs directing motorists to the continuation of Route 193 to the east and to Routes 65 and 80 to the west. Added by AB 2733, September 20, 2006, Chapter 362.


    Post 1964 Signage History

    This segment remains as defined in 1963.

    In 2006, AB 2733, Chapter 362 permitted relinquishment of the portion of Route 193 within the City of Lincoln.

     

    Pre 1964 Signage History

    This segment was LRN 91; it was originally signed as US 99E. It was defined in 1933.

     

    Freeway

    [SHC 253.7] Entire portion. Added to the Freeway and Expressway system in 1959.


  2. From Route 49 near Cool to Route 49 near Placerville via Georgetown.


    Post 1964 Signage History

    The current definition of this segment is as defined in 1963 ("(b) Route 49 near Cool to Route 49 near Placerville via Georgetown".... but that wasn't always the case.

    In 1972, Chapter 1216 changed the terminus of this segment: "…to Route 49 Route 50 near Placerville via Georgetown." This was the result of a transfer from Route 49.

    In 1984, Chapter 409 revered the transfer, transferring the transferred portion back to Route 49: "…to Route 50 Route 49 near Placerville via Georgetown."

     

    Pre 1964 Signage History

    This route was LRN 93; it was unsigned before 1964. It was defined in 1933.

Pre 1964 Signage History

Route 193 was not defined as part of the initial state signage of routes in 1934. It is unclear what (if any) route was signed as Route 193 between 1934 and 1964.

Pre-1964 Legislative Route

In 1933, Chapter 767 added the route from "[LRN 77] near Prado to [LRN 9] near San Bernardino" to the highway system. In 1935, this was added to the highway code as LRN 193, with the definition "[LRN 77] near Prado to [LRN 9] near San Bernardino". Later that year, Chapter 493 changed the route to:

"[LRN 43] at Corona northerly to [LRN 19]"

This change truncated both ends of the route. It moved the southern end to the northeast, from roughly the Route 91/Route 71 junction to Route 91/Hamner Av in Corona. The route then ran up Hamner and Milken, originally to US 66 (LRN 9), but that was truncated to US 60 (LRN 19).

In 1959, Chapter 1062 relaxed the routing and extended the route to [LRN 31] near Devore: "[LRN 43] at near Corona northerly to [LRN 19] [LRN 31] near Devore."

This was the route from present-day Route 91 near Corona to I-215 near Devore. This was the future freeway routing of I-15 (former I-15E). The pre-freeway surface routing of this was former Route 31.

Suffixed Routings

The 1974-1982 routing was once signed as I-15E.

 

Post 1964 Signage History

Post-1964 Legistlative Route Graphic As defined on July 1, 1964, Route 194 ran from Route 49 near Downieville to Eureka Mine Road near Saddleback Mountain.

In 1965, Chapter 1372 deleted this routing.

Post-1964 Legistlative Route Graphic In 1974, Chapter 537 redefined the route: "Route 15 near Temecula to Route 15 near Devore via San Bernardino and passing near Riverside." This routing was signed as I-15E (Route 194 was created because legislatively one could not have suffixed routes). The 1974 renumbering was concurrant with the creation of a new definition for Route 15 to the west.

In 1982, Chapter 681 deleted this routing and renumbered it was "Route 215".

 

Pre 1964 Signage History

State Shield The 1964-1965 routing with the number (near Downieville) was LRN 36.

Interstate Shield The post-1974 routing was as follows:

  1. Between 2 mi N of Temecula and Riverside: The route was signed as US 395, and was LRN 78, defined in 1933. This is now I-215, although for a time it was signed as I-15E.

  2. Between jct US 60/US 91 and jct US 60/US 395: The route was cosigned as US 60/US 395, and was LRN 19, defined in 1909. This is currently I-215, although for a time it was signed as I-15E.

  3. Between Riverside and San Bernardino: The route was cosigned as US 91/US 395, and was LRN 43, defined in 1931. This is currently I-215, although for a time it was signed as I-15E.

  4. Between San Bernardino and Devore: The route was cosigned as US 91/US 66/US 395, and was LRN 31, defined in 1915. This is currently I-215, although for a time it was signed as I-15E.

Route 194 was not defined as part of the initial state signage of routes in 1934. It is unclear what (if any) route was signed as Route 194 between 1934 and 1964.

 

Interstate Submissions

The portion from Devore to I-10 was accepted as 139(b) non-chargeable milage in 1972 as I-215, changed to I-15E in 1973, changed back to I-215 in 1982 when the route was renumbered as Route 215. The portion between Route 10 and Route 60 was accepted as 139(a) milage in 1973. The portion between Route 60 and Route 15 was accepted as 139(a) milage in 1972.

 

Pre-1964 Legislative Route

In 1933, Chapter 767 defined the routes from "The Descanso-Temecula Road near Aguanga to Hemet" and "Hemet to [LRN 19] near Moreno" as part of the state highway system. In 1935, these were added to the highway code as LRN 194, with the routing:

"[LRN 19] near Moreno to [LRN 78] near Aguanga via Hemet"

In 1959, Chapter 1062 changed the ends and relaxed the routing: "[LRN 19] near Moreno [LRN 78] east of Temecula to [LRN 78] near Aguanga [LRN 26] near Beaumont via the vicinity of Hemet". This is the routing of Route 79 along Lamb Canyon. The portion from [LRN 78] to Moreno (Gilman Springs Road) became LRN 186 in 1959 (Route 177) and was later deleted.


State Shield

State Route 195



Routing

From Route 86 near Oasis to Route 111 near Mecca via Pierce Street and Avenue 66. This route ceases to be a state highway when Route 86 Expressway is constructed from near Oasis to Route 10.

 

Post 1964 Signage History

In 1963, Route 195 was defined as "Route 86 near Oasis to Route 10 near Shaver's Summit via Pierce Street, Avenue 66, and Mecca."

In 1972, Chapter 1216 deleted the portion between Route 111 and Route 10, and added a sunset condition: "Route 86 near Oasis to Route 10 near Shaver's Summit Route 111 near Mecca via Pierce Street and Avenue 66 and Mecca. This route shall cease to be a state highway when Route 86 Freeway is constructed from near Oasis to Route 10."

In 1981, Chapter 292 changed "Freeway" to "Expressway"

By 2003, it appears that Route 195 had been decomisssioned, although it still remains on the books, and shields remain up.

 

Pre 1964 Signage History

The present route was LRN 203, defined in 1935 and the portion of LRN 204 (also defined in 1935) between Pierce Street and Route 111. The 1964-1972 portion of Route 195 was LRN 64, defined in 1919. It appears all were signed as Route 195 by 1963.

Pre-1964 State Shield US Highway Shield Between 1934 and the signage of US 95, a different route was signed as Route 195 -- namely, the original route of US 95 between Palo Verde and the Nevada border. That route was LRN 146.

 

Status

The Route 86 expressway has been completed; as of 2003, however, the state highway signage for Route 195 has not been removed.

Post 1964 Signage History

Post-1964 Legistlative Route Graphic In 1963, Route 196 was defined as "Route 2 to Route 249 south of Palmdale". This would have run roughly along Pacifico Mountain Road and Horse Flats Road, between Route 2 and Route 249 (approximately LA County Route N3, Angeles Forest Highway).

In 1965, Chapter 1372 deleted this route.

Pre-1964 Legislative Route

In 1933, Chapter 767 added the route from "[LRN 2] near Oceanside to [LRN 77] near Vista" to the highway system. In 1935, this route was added to the highway code as LRN 196, with the definition:

"[LRN 2] near Oceanside to [LRN 77] near Vista"

In 1947, Chapter 1233 changed the terminus to remove the reference to [LRN 77]: "…to [LRN 77] near Vista"

In 1951, Chapter 1562 extended the route: "…to Vista [LRN 77] near Escondido"

This route ran from US 101 (present-day I-5) near Oceanside to US 395 (present-day I-15) near Escondido. This is the portion of Route 78 between I-5 and I-15.

State Route 198



Routing
  1. From Route 101 near San Lucas to Route 33 at Coalinga.


    Post 1964 Signage History

    This segment remains as defined in 1963.

    The portion of Route 198 between US 101 and San Lucas was the original routing of US 101. (The bypass of King City, San Lucas, and San Ardo was adopted in 1962.)

     

    Pre 1964 Signage History

    This route was all LRN 10. The portion between Hanford and Route 99 was defined in 1909. The portion from US 101 to Hanford was defined in 1915, and the remainder (Route 99 to Sequoia National Park) was defined in 1919. It was signed as part of the initial state signage of routes in 1934.

     

    Naming

    The portion of Route 198 from the junction with Route 101 to the County of Fresno is officially designated the "John McVeigh, Jr. Memorial Highway". John McVeigh, Jr. was a California Highway Patrol officer who, on April 17, 1993, was killed in the line of duty while responding to an injury accident on Route 198 in the area of King City, in the County of Monterey. Named by Assembly Concurrent Resolution No. 119, Chapter 147, in 1994.

    Status

    In May 2001, the CTC considered TCRP Project #111, which will build 10mi of 4-lane expressway from Route 99 to Hanford in Kings and Tulare counties. The basic approach will be to widen the two-lane conventional highway to a four-lane expressway on Route 198 from east of Route 43 near Hanford to west of Route 99 near Visalia. The project is estimated to cost a total of $55.3 million. The regional transportation planning agencies in both Kings and Tulare Counties and the State have already funded $17.5 million for environmental review, design and right of way phases. The project will be funded with $14.0 million in the Governor’s Transportation Congestion Relief Program (TCRP). In 2007, the CTC authorized an additional $22.912 million in funding from the Corridor Mobility Improvement Account, out of $28.640 million requested) [for the Tulare County portion] and $48.688 million (ouf of $60.860 million requested) [for the Kings County portion].

    In July 2005, the CTC considered relinquishment of right of way in the County of Kings, at Avenue 25, consisting of highway right of way easement no longer needed for State highway purposes.

    In September 2005, the CTC considered a project for Route 198 in Kings County to convert at-grade intersection to partial interchange and upgrade from urban expressway to freeway between Route 41 and Vine St. in Lemoore.

    In September 2006, the CTC considered relinquishment of right of way in the County of Tulare, at Avenue 296, consisting of reconstructed and relocated county road. (6-Tul-198-PM 21.9 (KP 35.23))

    In 2007, the CTC did not recommend funding the 19th Ave. interchange and freeway conversion in Kings County ($27,770K requested) from the Corridor Mobility Improvement Account (CMIA).

    The SAFETEA-LU act, enacted in August 2005 as the reauthorization of TEA-21, provided the following expenditures on or near this route:

    • High Priority Project #2116: Route 198 Expansion, from Route 99 to Route 43. $2,400,000.

     

     

    Naming

    The portion that passes through the City of Hanford between Seventh Avenue and Twelfth Avenue in Hanford is named the "George Alan Ingalls Memorial Highway". George Alan Ingalls was born on March 9, 1946, in Hanford, California. He entered the United States Army at Los Angeles, California, obtained the rank of Specialist Fourth Class, and was assigned to Company A, Second Battalion, Fifth Calvary, First Calvary Division (Airmobile). He served in Vietnam, and on April 16, 1967, near Duc Pho, Republic of Vietnam, George Alan Ingalls, in a spontaneous act of great courage, which cost him his own life, threw himself on top of a hand grenade, thereby abating the grenade's full blast and saving the lives of the members of his squad. He was awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously on January 30, 1969; on November 11, 2000, American Legion Post 3 of Hanford appropriately honored George Alan Ingalls' mother and family members at the tank memorial in the Hanford Cemetery. Named by Assembly Concurrent Resolution 47, Resolution Chapter 60, filed June 4, 2001.

    The portion between 18th Avenue and 25th Avenue near Lemoore is named the "United States Navy Lieutenant Commander Otis Vincent Tolbert Memorial Highway". Named in honor of the United States Navy Lieutenant Commander Otis Vincent Tolbert, a long-time Lemoore resident who was killed during the terrorist attacks on the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. The segment of highway named, from 18th Avenue to 25th Avenue in Lemoore, directly correlates to his life, starting at Lemoore High School, his alma mater, and ending at the Lemoore Naval Air Station. LTC Tolbert graduated from Lemoore High School in 1990, where he was a track and field star. He was awarded a football scholarship to California State University, Fresno (CSUF), where he played defensive end for the Fresno State Bulldogs football team. He graduated in 1985 with a degree in criminal justice, and joined the United States Navy, where he advanced to the rank of Lieutenant Commander for the Defense Intelligence Agency. Named by Senate Concurrent Resolution 35, Chapter 51, May 5, 2004.

Pre-1964 Legislative Route

In 1933, Chapter 767 defined the routes from "San Diego-Campo Road near Spring Valley to [LRN 12] near La Mesa", "[LRN 12] near El Cajon to the Descanso-Temecula Road near Santa Ysabel", and "Julian to [LRN 26] near Kane Springs" as part of the highway system. In 1935, these routes were added to the highway code as LRN 198 with the definition:

  1. [LRN 200] near Spring Valley to [LRN 12] near La Mesa
  2. [LRN 12] near El Cajon to [LRN 78] near Santa Ysabel
  3. Julian to [LRN 26] near Kane Springs

This definition remained unchanged until the 1963 renumbering. It was signed as follows:

  1. From LRN 200 (Route 94) near Spring Valley to LRN 12 (US 80; later I-8) near La Mesa.

    This was signed as Route 67.

  2. From LRN 12 (US 80; later I-8) near El Cajon to LRN 78 (Route 79) near Santa Ysabel.

    This was signed as Route 67 and Route 78.

  3. From Julian to LRN 26 (US 99) near Kane Springs.

    This was signed as Route 78.


US Highway Shield

US Highway 199



Routing

From Route 101 near Crescent City to the Oregon state line via the Smith River.

 

Post 1964 Signage History

This route remains unchanged from its 1963 definition.

 

Pre 1964 Signage History

This route was signed as US 199 in 1928 (although one report gives 1932). It is part of LRN 1, defined in 1919.

 

Status

A planned expressway (or freeway) alignment for US 199 appears in Compass's Redwood Coast map; this would begin 2 miles north of the current US 101/US 199 interchange, approximately at the intersection of US 101 and Arrowhead Drive, and continue on a meandering path east towards Route 197 at Low Divide Road. (It is unclear what will happen to the southernmost segment of Route 197 between the proposed routing and Route 199 should Route 199 be assigned to this new alignment.) This plan appears to be designed to avoid the Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park altogether (current US 199 cuts through the park).

The SAFETEA-LU act, enacted in August 2005 as the reauthorization of TEA-21, provided the following expenditures on or near this route:

  • High Priority Project #2684: US 199 Narrow Enhancement to reduce active slides that cause significant road closures on primary connecting route from US 101 to I-5. $1,800,000.

 

 

Naming

This route is unofficially named the "Redwood" Highway.

This route was part of the "Winnemucca to the Sea Highway". This route was developed to establish a continuous, improved all-weather highway from US-40 (I-80) at Winnemucca, Nevada through Medford, Oregon and on to the Pacific coast at Crescent City, California. The Winnemucca to the Sea Highway Association proposed this as US 140, but the number was never assigned. Instead, it is represented by a combination of route numbers: US 95, Nevada 140 (originally Nevada 8A), Oregon 140, US 395, Oregon 62, I-5, US 199, and US 101. Winnemucca, named after a local Paiute chief, began as a bridge over the Humboldt River for emigrants taking the Applegate-Lassen trail into northern California and Oregon, and was a major point on the transcontinental railroad and is a stop over on the ocean-to-ocean highway US-40 (I-80).

The Hardscrabble Bridge, located on Route 199 six miles east of Hiouchi Village in Del Norte County, is officially named the "Viggo "Vic" Meedom Memorial Bridge". Viggo "Vic" Meedom was born in Denmark, and died in October of 1995 at the age of 101. He served Del Norte County as a member of the Crescent City Council, a member of the Del Norte County Board of Supervisors, and an original member of the Del Norte County Local Hospital District Board of Directors. Named by Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 55, Chapter 22, in 1996.

Bridge 01-009 over the Smith River, 12 mi E of Crescent City in Del Norte county, is named the "Mary Adams Peacock Memorial Bridge". It was built in 1926 and rebuilt in 1985, and was named in 1932. Del Norte County pioneer school teacher, Mary Adams Peacock (1861-1946), established "Adams' Station" in 1898 and married stage drive Peter Peacock in 1908. Two native plants, Anemone Adamsiana and Valeriana Adamsiana, are named for "Aunt Mary Adams".

Bridge 01-016 over the Middle Fork of the Smith River in Del Norte county is named the "Allen Fredrick Lehman Memorial Bridge". It was constructed in 1985, and was named by Assembly Concurrent Resolution 87, Chapter 15, in 1986. Allen Frederick Lehman was a long time resident of Del Norte County and Chairman of the Crescent City Harbor Commission in 1949.

Bridge 01-019 over the Middle Fork of the Smith River (19.9 mi NE of Route 101) in Del Norte county is named the "Howard Griffin Memorial Bridge". It was built in 1962, and was named by Senate Concurrent Resolution 13, Chapter 44, in 1963. Howard Francis Griffin, journalist and World War I veteran, founded the "Crescent City American" newspaper in 1926.

Tunnel 01-049, near the Oregon State Line in Del Norte county, is named the "Randolph Collier Tunnel". It was built in 1963, and named by Senate Concurrent Resolution 74, Chapter 246, in 1961. Senator Randolph Collier was elected to the State Legislature from 1938-1976 to represent Humboldt, Mendocino, Sonoma, Lake, Trinity, Del Norte and Siskiyou counties. Although he was recognized as a leader in many fields of legislation, Collier gained statewide and national fame in the planning and financing of highways. He was the principal author of the Collier-Burns Act of 1947 which brought about the California Highway Plan. The state's highway system served as a model throughout the nation in that the state assumed responsibility for state highways in cities. Other improvements came with the Highway Act of 1953 which stepped up the California freeway program and the adoption of the California Freeway and Expressway System in 1959. His interest in ecological preservation introduced legislation to provide proper regulation of California's timberlands and protection for wild rivers. He worked with local authorities in providing parks and recreational facilities for the public. The naming of the Randolph Collier Tunnel through Oregon Mountain was a tribute to its principal advocate. It provided the first direct route from northwest Nevada to the Pacific Ocean. It also eliminated the route over the summit's 128 curves and hairpin switchbacks, and made the highway passable in snowy weather. Senate committees on which Collier had served include Governmental Efficiency, Finance, Revenue and Taxation, Insurance and Finance Institutions, and Transportation.
