Whew! First and foremost, happy 30th or 40th anniversary to the California Highways website. We go back to 1996, with some of the early highway lists posts in 1986. There's a lot in this update, notably a review of the just approved STIP and SHOPP for 2026, and a review of the new legislation introduced at the state level. Lots of stuff there, good is a different matter. So read, enjoy, and as always, discuss.
