We've come to the end of another year. This year saw (less by conscious decision than happenstance) this website move to bimonthly updates. It also saw some major construction projects begin (such as the reshaping of the Sepulveda Pass), some significant completions (such as the tunneling at Devil's Slide), and loads of maintenance thanks to stimulus funds. It also saw the further decline of misc.transport.road into uselessness, and the growth of Facebook as a communication medium. Speaking of that, if you haven't friended the California Highways Facebook group, you should. I've set it up to get the regular Metro.Net headline posting, and I regularly highlight any highway related articles I find on the net. It is also your place to share news about California Highways, and I pick up that news from there for these updates. So join!
The following are updates from my reading of the papers (which are posted to California Highways Facebook group) as well as any backed up email changes. I also reviewed the the AAroads forum and misc.transport.road. This resulted in changes on the following routes, with credit as indicated [my research(1), contributions of information or leads (via direct mail or Usenet) from ]:Route 17(1), Route 20(1), Route 57(1), Route 60(1), Route 91(1), US 101(1), I-5(1), I-10(1), I-80(1), I-110(1), I-380 [Southern Crossing](1), I-405(1), I-580(1), I-710[Gerald Desmond Bridge](1), I-880(1), Los Angeles County Sign Route N3 [Angeles Forest Highway](1).
Noted an interesting article from Metro.Net that, alas, doesn't quite fit into any specific highway page nor other pages I have on the site. This article reported on a study exploring the feasibility of conversion of existing HOV lanes in Southern California to HOT lanes. The study had the following key findings:
Constructability: Route 60 (Brea Canyon Road to Azusa Avenue) rated the highest for ease of constructability. Others rated high for ease of construction were I-105, Route 14, and Route 57. These facilities have the preponderance of standard land and shoulder widths, available right-of-way, flat topography, at-grade segments, and minimal interference with utilities and rights-of-way. Five HOV facilities rated medium in this category: I-5, I-210, I-405 north of LAX, I-405 South, and Route 60 (Route 57-Route 71).
Revenue Potential: I-405 North of LAX rated the highest for revenue generating potential. Four HOV facilities were rated medium in this category: I-105, I-210, Route 14, and Route 91.
Connectivity: I-605 rated the highest in this category, followed by I-5, and I-105.
Transit Benefits: I-5 rated the highest in this category, followed by I-10, and I-405 north of LAX.
Based on the Study findings, the following HOV facilities appeared to demonstrate comparatively strong potential for HOT conversion and were recommended for further assessment in the event additional studies are undertaken in Los Angeles County: (1) I-105, from I-405 to I-605; (2) I-405, from I-105 to I-5 north of LAX; (3) Route 91, from I-110 to the Orange County Line; (4) Route 57, from Route 60 to the Orange County Line. Additional consideration was also felt to be warranted for I-10 between I-605 and the San Bernardino County Line.
Another interesting article of note is this one from the Sacramento Bee, which explores the increasing use of auxilliary lanes on Sacramento freeways. Aux lanes are short-distance lanes that run from an onramp to the next offramp. They don't require environmental studies. Caltrans is now linking up series of lanes in Sacramento to improve traffic flow at lower cost. Caltrans currently wants to link several auxiliary lanes on I-80 in Roseville and create similar linkages on Route 99 in south Sacramento.
Checked the Calnexus page to see if there had been any updates. There weren't any.

Noted the following article, which has some interesting information but really doesn't fit well into the site as currently laid out: Grading the Freeways. This article talks about recent reports in Southern California on freeway congestion, and provides rankings of all the routes in terms of congestion and level of service. Some points highlighted are:
Thanks to Robert Bregoff, noted the System Planning Documents for District 4 of Caltrans. I haven't had the time to go through them in detail, but they contain both the Transportation Corridor Concept Reports (TCCR), which provide a specific "highway operation concept configuration" for the year 2025, and the Route Concept Reports (RCR), which define the 20-year concept for route development from 1985-2005. They also contain the analysis for relinquishment of routes.

I've been so busy, it seems the only time I can find to update the Highways pages is when I take a vacation day to do it. So, my timecard has been filled out and "V" has been charged, so it's you and me, dear friend.

I reviewed the the AAroads forum and misc.transport.road, but found nothing worth converting into updates.

It's been a while, hasn't it. As usual, life got in the way: be it other weekend plans, or the death of a dear family friend, or other medical issues. But this weekend is an update weekend, and so while you celebrate Easter (if you do), I'll update highway pages. With that said....
The following are any updates from backed up email changes, notes from my reading of the papers (which are usually posted to the Facebook group), the AAroads forum, as well as updates from misc.transport.road (which has become useless). This resulted in changes on the following routes, with credit as indicated [my research(1), contributions of information or leads (via direct mail or Usenet) from Julie East(2), Eric Fischer(3), Mark Furqueron(4), Michael Patrick(5), SLO Richards(6), Daniel T(7), and Joel Windmiller(8)]:El Camino(6), Route 17(7), Route 24(1), Route 49(8), Route 76(4), Route 77(2), Route 84(1), Route 91 (Orange-Riverside County Connector)(1), Route 92(1), Route 125(1), Route 152(5), Route 160(1), Route 283(2), Former Route 480(1), US 101(1), I-80(1), I-380(3), I-405(1), I-710(1).
Updated a link into AARoads, as they start their dynamic link conversion project. This is something I'm not looking foward to.
Reviewed the Pending Legislation page. In the assembly, over three months, just about 1100 new bills were introduced; in the senate, over 500. One would think, over time, we would get it closer to right than having to modify things more! As the OC Register called it: squirrels, distracting folks from getting the real work done! There were some new bills introduced, but nothing has passed yet.
I checked the CTC Liaison page,, for the results of the February and March meetings (although March had nothing of interest). The following items were of interest:

The following are any updates from backed up email changes, notes from my reading of the papers (which are usually posted to the Facebook group), the AAroads forum, as well as updates from misc.transport.road (which has become useless). This resulted in changes on the following routes, with credit as indicated [my research(1), contributions of information or leads (via direct mail or Usenet) from Eric Fischer(2), Ian Kluft(3), Michael Patrick(4), and Mark Roberts(5)]:Route 1(1), Route 22(1), Route 24(5), Route 91(1), Route 110(1), Route 118(1), Route 152(4), Route 220(1), US 101(1), I-405(1), I-380(2), I-580(3).
