California 905 is the Otay Mesa Freeway between Interstate 5 in San Ysidro and the Otay Mesa Port of Entry. The portion of this state highway between Interstate 805 and the future California 125 interchange is currently an expressway and is slated for upgrade to freeway standards; once this upgrade is complete, the entire route is slated to become Interstate 905.

Decommissioned Routes

California 209 was Rosecrans Street, Canon Street, Catalina Boulevard, and Cabrillo Memorial Drive. It was legislatively decommissioned and accepted by the City of San Diego by May 2001. Signs and shields still remain for this route, however.

This page presents the main freeways and highways in the San Diego region, including the northern parts of San Diego County.

Interstate 805 is the Jacob Dekema Freeway (Inland Freeway), which provides an alternative to Interstate 5 through San Diego, National City, and Chula Vista. Completed in the 1970s, Interstate 805 has seen explosive traffic growth as a result of the expansion of the suburbs in the South Bay areas as well as new communities and businesses along the northern portion of the route, especially the high-tech businesses that have appeared in Sorrento Valley. Traffic congestion is a perennial problem on this freeway due to the locations of residences and businesses, and a managed lane project is in the works for this busy corridor. For pictures and more detail, see Interstate 805.

Interstate 15 is the Escondido Freeway (known as Avocado Highway north of Escondido), and it comes into San Diego from the Inland Empire near Temecula, and it becomes an important commuter route from the bedroom neighborhoods within Escondido, Poway, and San Diego to the jobs in Mission Valley, downtown San Diego, and Sorrento Valley. For pictures and more detail, see Interstate 15 in San Diego.

There are no U.S. routes left in San Diego, the seventh largest city in the United States. San Diego is the largest city in the United States that is not served by a single U.S. highway (other large cities not served by U.S. highways include Seattle, Washington, and Tucson, Arizona). In 1964, the state of California decommissioned many U.S. highways, and signs were removed as their freeway replacements were constructed. U.S. 80 was replaced by Interstate 8 by 1972, U.S. 101 has been replaced by Interstate 5 in 1964, and U.S. 395 was replaced by Interstate 15 by 1972. U.S. 395 was the last U.S. highway to be eliminated from San Diego, when Interstate 15 and California 163 replaced its signage by 1972. Historic route signage for all three routes (U.S. 80, U.S. 101, and U.S. 395) has been placed, with U.S. 101 signs appearing in the late 1990s, and U.S. 80 and U.S. 395 signs appearing around 2007 and 2008. The state of California officially designated each of these former U.S. highways as historic corridors.
