Changes to the California Highway Website covering September - December 2024

[cahwyguy]

The last highway page update for 2024 is done. This covers September, October, November, and all of December except for the headlines post (which will happen Wed 1/1/2025) and the podcast episode post (which will happen Mon 12/30/2024). Here’s the changelog — for a nicer version, see the webpage version.

This update covers September, October, and November 2024, and part of December 2024, depending on how long it takes me to finish the last little bits. Before we dive into the updates to the California Highways site, an update on the California Highways: Route by Route podcast. As always, you can keep up with the show at the podcast’s forever home at https://www.caroutebyroute.org , the show’s page on Spotify for Podcasters, or you can subscribe through your favorite podcatcher or via the RSS feeds (CARxR, Spotify for Podcasters) . The following episodes have been posted since the last update:

• September | CA RxR 3.01: Route 3: Through the Mountains of Jefferson.  Welcome to Season 3 of California Highways: Route by Route. We promised that the season would start in September, and we’re making it by the wire. Season 3 covers Routes 3 through 7; this is the first episode covering Route 3, which is in Northwest California near Weaverville and Route 299. In this episode, we talk about all things “three”: The third state route, Legislative Route 3, Sign Route 3, and finally the current Route 3. For the current Route 3, we talk about the history of the route, projects currently ongoing on the route, and some naming along the route. We even have a digression on the proposed Interstate 3. We also talk about the state scenic highway system, and how routes earn the golden poppy. [Note: Internally, I’m going to a new numbering system this season, as we’re going to have some two part episodes, and the episode numbers require integers. Episode 3.01 will be 3010 (e.g., 3.01.0, without the dots). This allows a part 2 to be 3.01.1] (Spotify for Creators)
• October | CA RxR 3.02: Route 4: Hercules to Stockton. In this episode, we commence a 3-part exploration of Route 4. This episode starts with all things Route 4: The 4th state route, DOH and Legislative Route 4, and pre-1964 Route 4, finally setting on today’s Route 4. We talk about the LRNs that make up today’s Route 4: LRN 106, LRN 75, and LRN 24. We focus on the first segment of the route, from I-80 in Hercules to I-5 in Stockton. We talk about Route 4 in cities such as Hercules, Martinez, Concord, Antioch, Brentwood, the wetlands, and the Port of Stockton. We also talk about freeway segments, projects, and names along the route. The subsequent two episodes continue Route 4, with 3.03 focusing on the Stockton Crosstown Freeway. (Spotify for Creators)
• November | CA RxR 3.03: Route 4: Stockton. In this episode, we continue our a 3-part exploration of Route 4. This episode focused on the Stockton Crosstown Freeway: A short freeway segment of Route 4 that bisects the city of Stockton, essentially running from I-5 to Route 99. We talk about the LRNs that made up this segment: LRN 75, and LRN 24. We spend much of the episode talking about the impact the construction of the route had on Stockton, including an interview with Dr. Paul Ong of UCLA, lead author of a paper (“Stockton’s Crosstown Freeway, Urban Renewal, and Asian Americans: Systemic Causes and Impacts“) that explored the impact of the construction of the Stockton Crosstown Freeway on the Asian-American community. We also talk about the project to complete this freeway, and the names given to the freeway. Our last episode on Route 4 will focus on the segment of Route 4 from Stockton to near Markleeville, including the segment through Ebbetts Pass. (Spotify for Creators)
• November | CA RxR 3.04: Route 4: The Sierras. In this episode, we complete our exploration of Route 4, covering the segments from Stockton and Route 99 through Angels Camp, and then on over the Sierras to Route 89 near Markleville. This includes segments that go through Gold Country, as well as the Ebbetts Pass segment that includes some very steep grades. Along the way, we look at the history of the route in these areas, projects along the way, and naming of the route. As always, we conclude with a discussion of this segment of the route after the credits. Next up: The first of six episodes (some with two parts, making it really eight episodes) covering Interstate 5. Episode 3.05 looks at the former US 101 portion from the Mexico border to downtown Los Angeles. (Spotify for Creators)
• December | CA RxR 3.05p1: I-5: San Diego to Los Angeles (Part 1). In this episode, we start our exploration of I-5, the central spine of California. We’re splitting the discussion over 6 episodes, some of which are two-parters. This first episode (a two-parter) looks at the former US 101 segment, from the Mexico Border to Downtown Los Angeles. Part 1, this part, starts with a discussion of all things 5: Maritime Highway M-5, the 5^th state highway, Legislative Route 5, Sign Route 5, and then I-5. For I-5, we look at the history of the route, and the pieces that led to first the US 101 Bypass and then I-5 in this area. We’ll finish the discussion in Part 2, where we look at projects along the route and names along the route. Subsequent episodes will be looking at (3.06) from Downtown LA to Wheeler Ridge, where Route 99 splits, including the Ridge Route; (3.07) the Westerly Routing; (3.08) the planned I-5W; (3.09) the former US 99W portion from Sacramento to Redding; and (3.09) the portion from Redding to the Oregon Border.

• December | CA RxR 3.05p2: I-5: San Diego to Los Angeles (Part 2). This will posted on Monday, 12/30/2024

Turning to the updates to the California Highways pages: Updates were made to the following highways, based on my reading of the (virtual) papers and my research for the podcast in Sepbemter, October, and November 2024 (which are posted to the roadgeeking category at the “Observations Along The Road” and to the California Highways Facebook group) as well as any backed up email changes. I also reviewed the the AAroads forum (Ꜳ).

Updated a number of links to New York area websites, thanks to input from Valerie Deane, who does the excellent New York State Roads website.

Reviewed the Pending Legislation page, based on the California Legislature site, for bills through 2024-12-26. As usual, I recommend to every Californian that they visit the legislative website regularly and see what their legis-critters are doing. As many people are unfamiliar with how the legislature operates (and why there are so many “non-substantive changes” and “gut and amend” bills), I’ve added the legislative calendar (updated for 2025) to the end of the Pending Legislation page. This review covered the end of the 2023-2024 Legislative Session and the start of the 2025-2026 Legislative Session. For the 2025-206 session, a few bills have been introduced. In additional to the “normal” bills, there seem to be a number that either (a) are intended as “protective” bills to protect the state from anticipated actions by the Trump administration, or (b) punitive bills against the perceived liberal legislature/pro-Trump agenda bills by pro-Trump assembly/senate-critters. I’m monitoring a few of the latter. After an extraordinary session, the legislature does not reconvene according to the calendar until 01/06/2025. Noted the passage of the following bills and resolutions from the end of the 2023-2024 Legislative Session:

• AB 1850 (Pellerin) State slug.
  Existing law establishes the state flag and the state’s emblems, including, among other things, the poppy as the official state flower, the California redwood as the official state tree, and the California gray whale as the official state marine mammal.

  This bill would establish the banana slug (Ariolimax) as the official state slug.

  09/27/24    Chaptered by Secretary of State – Chapter 668, Statutes of 2024.

• AB 2082 (Juan Carrillo) State highways: State Route 138: reduction.
  Existing law vests the Department of Transportation with full possession and control of all state highways. Existing law describes the authorized routes in the state highway system and establishes a process for adoption of a highway on an authorized route by the California Transportation Commission. Existing law authorizes the commission to relinquish to local agencies state highway segments that have been deleted from the state highway system by legislative enactment or have been superseded by relocation, and in certain other cases. Existing law designates State Route 138 from Route 14 near the City of Palmdale to Route 18 near Crestline in the County of San Bernardino.

  This bill would authorize the commission to relinquish to the City of Palmdale all or a portion of State Route 138 within the city’s jurisdiction and prescribe conditions that apply upon relinquishment.

  09/27/24    Chaptered by Secretary of State – Chapter 698, Statutes of 2024.

• AB 2286 (Aguiar-Curry, Friedman, and Kalra) Vehicles: autonomous vehicles.
  Existing law authorizes the operation of an autonomous vehicle on public roads for testing purposes by a driver who possesses the proper class of license for the type of vehicle operated if specified requirements are satisfied. Existing law prohibits the operation of an autonomous vehicle on public roads until the manufacturer submits an application to the Department of Motor Vehicles, as specified, and that application is approved.
  This bill would require a manufacturer of an autonomous vehicle to report to the department a collision on a public road that involved one of its autonomous vehicles with a gross vehicle weight of 10,001 pounds or more that is operating under a testing or deployment permit that resulted in damage of property, bodily injury, or death within 10 days of the collision.

  The bill would require a manufacturer of an autonomous vehicle to annually submit to the department specified information regarding the deactivation of the autonomous mode for its autonomous vehicles with a gross vehicle weight of 10,001 pounds or more that were operating under a testing or deployment permit that authorized the vehicle to operate on public roads.

  The bill would prohibit the operation of an autonomous vehicle with a gross vehicle weight of 10,001 pounds or more on public roads for testing purposes, transporting goods, or transporting passengers without a human safety operator physically present in the autonomous vehicle at the time of operation.

  The bill would require the Department of Motor Vehicles, by January 1, 2030, or 5 years after commencement of testing, whichever occurs later, and upon appropriation by the Legislature, to submit a report to the appropriate policy and fiscal committees of the Legislature evaluating the performance of autonomous vehicle technology and its impact on public safety and employment in the transportation sector for autonomous vehicles with a gross vehicle weight of 10,001 pounds or more. The bill would require the Department of the California Highway Patrol, the Labor and Workforce Development Agency, the Department of Transportation, the State Air Resources Board, and other relevant state agencies to provide additional information needed to research the report.

  09/27/24    Vetoed by Governor. Veto Message:

  This bill would prohibit the operation of autonomous vehicles weighing 10,000 pounds or more on public roads for testing, transporting goods, or carrying passengers without a human safety operator physically present in the vehicle.

  In my veto of a nearly identical bill last year, I expressed that my Administration remains committed to working with the author, sponsors, and stakeholders in furthering our efforts to meet the needs of traffic safety, worker protections, and jobs as this evolving technology progresses in California.

  As we continue to move forward, it is important to note that 35 jurisdictions — including Arizona, Nevada, Texas, Washington, and the District of Columbia – have already authorized the testing of heavy-duty autonomous vehicles. California remains the only state to actively prohibit these vehicles.

  To this end, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), which has regulated autonomous vehicles over the last decade pursuant to authority granted to it by the Legislature, has issued three sets of regulations that create a framework allowing innovation, while also protecting public safety. A new set of draft regulations, currently open for public input until October 14, 2024, offers the nation’s most comprehensive standards for heavy-duty autonomous vehicles. These draft regulations propose strict guidelines for heavy-duty AV operations, including limiting operations to roads with speed limits of 50 miles per hour or higher and excluding certain uses, such as transporting passengers or hazardous materials. They also require a phased permitting process to ensure a gradual transition to driverless operations, along with specific testing periods, mileage requirements, and clear definitions of where and how these vehicles can operate. Finally, these regulations also require more robust reporting from companies testing or deploying AVs, and give DMV additional enforcement tools to place restrictions on permits to protect public safety.

  Recognizing that our workforce is the foundation of our economic success, California leads the nation with some of the strongest worker protection laws. Our state also is renowned globally as a leader in technological innovation. We reject that one aim must yield to the other, and our success disproves this false binary. But advancing both priorities requires creativity, collaboration, and a willingness to work together to identify pragmatic solutions. Toward that end, my office offered multiple rounds of suggested amendments, which were unfortunately not accepted. While I cannot sign this legislation in its current form, my Administration stands ready to work with the legislature and stakeholders toward progress on this issue.

• AB 2504 (Dixon) State seashell.
  Existing law establishes the state flag and the state’s emblems, including, among other things, the golden poppy as the official state flower, the California redwood as the official state tree, and the California gray whale as the official state marine mammal.

  This bill would establish the black abalone (Haliotis cracherodii) as the official state seashell.

  09/27/24    Chaptered by Secretary of State – Chapter 669, Statutes of 2024.

• AB 2669 (Ting) Toll bridges: tolls.
  Existing law provides for the construction and operation of various toll bridges by the state, the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District, and private entities that have entered into a franchise agreement with the state.

  This bill would prohibit a toll from being imposed on the passage of a pedestrian, bicycle, or personal micromobility device over these various toll bridges, unless the bridge was under construction on or after January 1, 2025, and the tolls are used to fund the cost of constructing the bridge..

  09/27/24    Chaptered by Secretary of State – Chapter 731, Statutes of 2024.

• AB 2698 (Ta) Route 405: Little Saigon Freeway.
  Existing law vests the Department of Transportation with full possession and control of all state highways. Existing law describes the authorized routes in the state highway system, including that for Route 405 from Route 5 near El Toro to Route 5 near San Fernando.

  This bill would specify that Route 405 from Bolsa Avenue (ORA 17.769)  to Bolsa Chica Road (ORA 20.548) in the County of Orange shall be known and designated as the Little Saigon Freeway, and would require the department to determine the cost of appropriate signs showing that special designation and, upon receiving donations from nonstate sources sufficient to cover the cost, to erect those signs, as specified.

  09/25/24    Chaptered by Secretary of State – Chapter 574, Statutes of 2024.

• AB 2817 (Dixon) State highways: Route 1: relinquishment.
  Existing law vests the Department of Transportation with full possession and control of all state highways. Existing law describes the authorized routes in the state highway system and establishes a process for the California Transportation Commission to adopt a highway on an authorized route. Existing law requires the commission to relinquish to local agencies state highway portions that have been deleted from the state highway system by legislative enactment, and authorizes relinquishment in certain other cases.

  This bill would authorize the commission to relinquish to the City of Laguna Beach a specified portion of Route 1 if the department and the city enter into an agreement providing for that relinquishment, as specified.

  09/22/24    Chaptered by Secretary of State – Chapter 416, Statutes of 2024.

• AB 3278 (Committee on Transportation) Transportation: omnibus bill.
  (Currently nothing of interest to the highway pages; current content relates to (1) name of the Transportation Agency for Monterey County; (2) Traffic Violator School; (3) Record handling; (4) Commercial motor vehicle standards; (5) regulation of motortrucks; (6) Basic of Inspection of Terminals program; (7) Inspection Requirements)

  9/12/24    Chaptered by Secretary of State – Chapter 226, Statutes of 2024.

• SB 961 (Wiener) Vehicles: safety equipment.
  Existing law prohibits a person from driving a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than the speed limit. Existing law also prohibits a person from driving a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable or prudent having due regard for weather, visibility, the traffic on, and the surface and width of, the highway, and in no event at a speed that endangers the safety of persons or property.

  This bill would require, commencing with the 2030 model year, every passenger vehicle, motortruck, and bus manufactured, sold as new, or leased as new in the state to be equipped with a passive intelligent speed assistance system, as specified, that would utilize a brief, one-time, visual and audio signal to alert the driver each time the speed of the vehicle is more than 10 miles per hour over the speed limit. The bill would exempt emergency vehicles, certain motortrucks, motorcycles, motorized bicycles, mopeds, and certain passenger vehicles from this requirement. The bill would require the system to be capable of being fully disabled, by the manufacturer or a franchisee, for emergency vehicles. The bill would require the system, if the system receives conflicting speed limits for the same area, to apply the higher speed limit.

  A violation of the above requirements would be punishable as a crime.

  By creating a new criminal offense, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

  09/28/24    Vetoed by Governor. In Senate. Consideration of Governor’s veto pending. Veto Message:

  This bill would require, beginning with the 2030 model year, that every new passenger vehicle, motor truck, and bus sold or leased in California be equipped with a passive intelligent speed assistance system to alert drivers when they exceed the speed limit by more than 10 miles per hour.

  While I appreciate the intent to improve traffic safety, this bill presents several challenges. Federal law, as implemented by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), already regulates vehicle safety standards, and adding California-specific requirements would create a patchwork of regulations that undermines this longstanding federal framework. NHTSA is also actively evaluating intelligent speed assistance systems, and imposing state-level mandates at this time risks disrupting these ongoing federal assessments.

  For these reasons, I cannot sign this bill.

• SB 1297 (Allen) The City of Malibu’s speed safety system pilot program.
  Existing law authorizes, until January 1, 2032, the Cities of Los Angeles, San Jose, Oakland, Glendale, and Long Beach, and the City and County of San Francisco to establish a speed safety system pilot program if the system meets specified requirements. Existing law requires a participating city or city and county to adopt a Speed Safety System Use Policy and a Speed Safety System Impact Report before implementing the program, and requires the participating city or city and county to engage in a public information campaign at least 30 days before implementation of the program, including information relating to when the systems would begin detecting violations and where the systems would be utilized. Existing law requires a participating city or city and county to issue warning notices rather than notices of violations for violations detected within the first 60 calendar days of the program. Existing law also requires a participating city or city and county to develop uniform guidelines for, among other things, the processing and storage of confidential information. Existing law designates all photographic or administrative records, not including data about the number of violations issued or the speeds at which they were issued for, made by a system as confidential, and would only authorize public agencies to use and allow access to these records for specified purposes.

  This bill would authorize, until January 1, 2032, the City of Malibu to establish a similar program for speed enforcement that utilizes up to 5 speed safety systems on the Pacific Coast Highway.

  Existing law specifies that any violation of a speed law recorded by a speed safety system authorized by the Speed Safety System Pilot Program provisions would be subject only to the provided civil penalties. Existing law provides, among other things, for the issuance of a notice of violation, an initial review, an administrative hearing, and an appeals process, as specified, for a violation under this program. Existing law requires any program created pursuant to these provisions to offer a diversion program for indigent speed safety system violation recipients, as specified. Existing law requires a city or city and county participating in the pilot program to submit a report to evaluate the speed safety system to determine the system’s impact on street safety and the economic impact on the communities where the system is utilized. Existing law requires revenues derived from any program to first be used to cover program costs, including, among other things, the construction of traffic-calming measures, as specified.

  This bill would require the City of Malibu to also implement the above provisions if it establishes the speed safety system program on the Pacific Coast Highway. The bill would additionally require the City of Malibu to enter into an agreement with the Department of Transportation regarding the use of any excess revenue for traffic-calming measures on the Pacific Coast Highway, in the City of Malibu.

  Existing law establishes a $25 filing fee for specified appeals and petitions.

  This bill would require a $25 filing fee for an appeal challenging a notice of violation issued as a result of the City of Malibu’s speed safety system program until January 1, 2032.

  Existing constitutional provisions require that a statute that limits the right of access to the meetings of public bodies or the writings of public officials and agencies be adopted with findings demonstrating the interest protected by the limitation and the need for protecting that interest.

  This bill would make legislative findings to that effect.

  This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the City of Malibu.

  09/27/24    Chaptered by Secretary of State. Chapter 631, Statutes of 2024.

• SCR 13 (Roth) Joseph Tavaglione Memorial Interchange.Designates the Route 60, Route 215/Route 91, Route 215 Separation (Bridge № 56-0402) where Route 60 and Route 91 meet I-215 (~ 08-Riv-60 12.21, 08-Rev-91 21.744, 08-Rev-215 R43.055) in the County of Riverside as the “Joseph Tavaglione Memorial Interchange”.

Reviewed the online agenda of the California Coastal Commission, for the September, October, November, and December meetings. The following items were of interest:

• October 2024 Application No. 3-24-0135 (Caltrans Five Cities Highway 101 Project, Pismo Beach). Application by Caltrans to add a roughly 5-mile widened part-time shoulder lane on southbound US 101 through Pismo Beach for vehicular travel use only during peak traffic periods (i.e., weekdays between 2pm and 7 pm) and as a standard highway shoulder area at other times; to construct a park and ride parking lot and related improvements (i.e., transit stop, bike parking, landscaping, EV charging stations, etc.) at Mattie Road and Price Street; and to provide funding to the City of Pismo Beach for multi-modal improvements along Shell Beach Road, all in the City of Pismo Beach in San Luis Obispo County. (ES-LB)
• November 2024 Application No. 5-24-0218 (City of Santa Monica, Santa Monica). Application by City of Santa Monica to replace the Santa Monica Pier Bridge with a seismically safe bridge for continued vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian use of the Santa Monica Pier. Santa Monica, Los Angeles County (JS-LB). [Route 187]
• November 2024 Application No. 2-24-0786 (Lagunitas Creek Bridge Replacement, Point Reyes Station). Project: Demolish and replace the existing two-lane Route 1 bridge crossing over Lagunitas Creek with a 162-foot-long and 42.2-foot-wide three-span, precast concrete bridge with five-foot cycling lane shoulders and a six-foot pedestrian sidewalk. Additional work includes large woody debris creek enhancement, extensions of the  five-foot cycling lane shoulders and sidewalks off the bridge, habitat and trail restoration, other associated improvements.

I checked California Transportation Commission page for the results of the October and December 2024 meetings of the California Transportation Commission. As always, note that I tend not to track items that do not impact these pages — i.e., pavement rehabilitation or replacement, landscaping, drainage, culverts, roadside facilities, charging stations, or other things that do not impact the routing or history, unless they are really significant. As such, the following items were of interest:

[ Note: ° indicates items that were below the level of detail for updating the specific route pages; ♠ is an indicator used to keep track of what has been added to the pages; ❧ indicates the results from the meeting, if the meeting minutes were available. ]

2.1a. STIP/SHOPP Program/Project Amendments

♠ (Oct) (1) SHOPP Amendments for Approval: Request to:
(Related Items under Ref. 2.5b.(1), 2.5b.(2), 2.5d.(3), and 2.5e.(13))

• Add 32 new projects into the 2024 SHOPP.  (2.1a.(1a) and 2.1a.(1b))
• Revise 18 17 projects currently programmed in the 2024 SHOPP.  ((2.1a.(1d), 2.1a.(1e), and 2.1a.(1f))

Of these, the following projects/allocation were at the level of interest for the highway pages (general, these are significant new structures or changes, as opposed to repair or rehabilitation in place; additions of bike paths, pedestrian, or complete street elements; or non-visible changes). A lot of the updates were responses to: (1) addition of fencing and security measures to facilities; (2) repair and reconstruction of roadways and slopes from storm or wildfire damage; (3) repairs from vandalism of cables and wiring — which does not rise to the level of interest for the highway pages. If the item is more long-lasting or significant (such as the slides in the Big Sur area), then they are noted. “^⊘” indicates phase not programmed.

(Related Items under Ref. 2.5b.(1), 2.5b.(2), and 4.13)

• Add 16 new projects into the 2024 SHOPP. (2.1a.(1a))
• Revise 11 projects currently programmed in the 2024 SHOPP.  ((2.1a.(1d))

Of these, the following projects/allocation were at the level of interest for the highway pages (general, these are significant new structures or changes, as opposed to repair or rehabilitation in place; additions of bike paths, pedestrian, or complete street elements; or non-visible changes). A lot of the updates were responses to: (1) addition of fencing and security measures to facilities; (2) repair and reconstruction of roadways and slopes from storm or wildfire damage; (3) repairs from vandalism of cables and wiring — which does not rise to the level of interest for the highway pages. If the item is more long-lasting or significant (such as the slides in the Big Sur area), then they are noted. “^⊘” indicates phase not programmed.
