A new episode of the podcast is up. This should be of interesting to my San Fernando Valley peeps, as it covers all of the unbuilt freeways of the San Fernando Valley: Route 14, Route 64, Route 170, the Sunland and Angeles National Forest Freeways, as well as Mulholland Expressway. We also cover LRN 14 (US 40 in Berkeley) and Sign Route 14 (now Route 91). Sound quality for Tom is better.

Time for another episode of the CA Route by Route podcast (link in comment). With Episode 4.11, our attention turns to Route 13. In this episode, we look at LRN 13, Sign Route 13, and Route 13. LRN 13 was the Sonora and Mono Wagon Road, which became today’s Route 219 and Route 108. Sign Route 13 was short-lived, quickly being renumbered as Sign Route 17 and Route 17, and is today’s Route 17, I-880, and I-580 N of the Bay Bridge. The post-1964 Route 13 of today runs from Route 61 to Route 61 through Oakland and Berkeley, and is best known as the Warren Freeway and Ashby Blvd. As for Route 61, you’ll just have to listen to the episode. Next time: In Ep 4.12, we’ll look at Route 14 and the unbuilt freeways of the San Fernando Valley. Lastly, note that in this episode Tom was having microphone trouble, so his sound is a bit off (and I don’t know Audacity well enough to fix it).

A new month, and that means highway headlines for the old month. The good news is that I worked with Westhost and we fixed the "Verifying you are human" problem that impeded linking. So here are your headlines. Ready, set, discuss.

Episode 4.10 of the podcast is up: https://caroutebyroute.org/.../ca-rxr-4-10-route-12-into.../ . Episode 4.10 concludes our exploration of Route 12 with an exploration of the final section of the route: From Route 99 in Lodi to Route 49 near San Andreas. This is a segment that travels through the foothills of the Sierras, running through Lodi, Lockeford, Clements, Valley Springs, and San Andreas along what was originally LRN 24. We also review LRN 12, which we visited before in our episodes on Route 8, for LRN 12 became I-8 between San Diego and El Centro. In our next episode, our attention turns to Route 13, and includes a discussion of LRN 13, the original Sign Route 13 which was quickly renumbered as Sign Route 17, and today’s Route 13 which runs through Oakland and Berkeley, although the route is unconstructed between the Oakland Airport and I-880.

Because I didn't want you to think I was fooling you by dropping an episode of the podcast on April 1, I dropped the next episode of the CARxR podcast today. This one covers the middle of Route 12: the segment from Fairfield/Suisan City through Rio Vista to Lodi. As always, we covered the history of the route, some projects, and some names. Next time: The remainder of Route 12 from Lodi to San Andreas.

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.
