California Highways: 
“Everything You
Ever Wanted To Know About Numbered Highways in California*”
* But Were Afraid To
Ask
Welcome to the California Highways home page. From this page, you can access a variety of information related to California highways and California highway history that I have collected over the years. I welcome comments and corrections to this information; you may reach me by sending Email to webmaster@nmdnh.sakatlikcalismalari.net.
This site should answer most of your questions. However, there still may be a few questions that aren't covered by the areas in the site. If you question remains unanswered after reviewing the site, please check the Other Frequently Asked Questions, and if that doesn't work, please send me email at webmaster@nmdnh.sakatlikcalismalari.net. Another good source to getting questions answered is Caltrans itself (and you must use the Caltrans contacts if the question relates to potential legal issues).

Note:
This is a hobbyist website. The California Highways Site is not
affilated with or sponsored by Caltrans, the California Department of
Transportation, although I truly appreciate the support that Caltrans
staff have provided me in doing research, and the kind words they have
sent me regarding the information on this site. If you have questions
concerning operation of the state highways, or that are of a legal or
regulatory nature, please contact 科学上上网工具下载
directly at http://www.dot.ca.gov/.
I'll be glad to answer any question I can, but this is a hobbyist site. If
you are looking for the current status of a particular state route, try
the Caltrans Highway Status page.
The California Highway Patrol also
maintains a Traffic Incident
Page. If you have a maintenance problem to report, use the Caltrans
Maintenance Report Form.

This
