Former California State Route 224

This previous month I drove what was California State Route 224 from US 101/CA 1 south to Carpinteria State Beach.

CA 224 was a 1 mile State Highway which was routed from US 101/CA 1 through Carpinteria to Carpinteria State Beach. The route of CA 224 followed Casitas Pass Road, Carptineria Avenue and Palm Avenue to the State Beach Gate.

The route that became CA 224 dates back to the creation of Legislative Route 152 which was added to the State Highway System in 1933 according to CAhighways.org. In it's original configuration LRN 152 simply connected from US 101/LRN 2 on Carpinteria Avenue south to Carpinteria State Beach. The earliest route of LRN 152 can be seen on the 1935 California Division of Highways Map of Santa Barbara County.

During the 1964 Renumbering CA 224 was assigned to LRN 152. This change can be seen on the 1964 State Highway Map.

According to CAhighways.org CA 224 was legislatively deleted as a State Highway. My approach to former CA 224 was via Casitas Pass Road south from CA 192. At Casitas Pass Road and US 101/CA 1 I picked up the route of former CA 224.

CA 224 south followed Casitas Pass Road and made a right hand turn onto Carpinteria Avenue.

Former CA 224 south briefly was on Carpinteria Avenue (former US 101) before taking a left hand turn onto Palm Avenue.

CA 224 south followed Palm Avenue south over the Union Pacific tracks to the gate of Carpinteria State Beach.

Old US Route 60/70 through Hell (Chuckwall Valley Road and Ragsdale Road)

Back in 2016 I explored some of the derelict roadways of the Sonoran Desert of Riverside County which were part of US Route 60/70; Chuckwalla Valley Road and Ragsdale Road. US 60 and US 70 were not part of the original run of US Routes in California. According to USends.com US 60 was extended into California by 1932. US 60 doesn't appear on the California State Highway Map until the 1934 edition.

Paper Highways; Interstate H-4 through downtown Honolulu

The Hawaiian Island of O'ahu is home to four Interstate Highways; H-1, H-2, H-3 and H-201. Had history gone slightly differently during the 1960s a fifth Interstate corridor on O'ahu could have been constructed through downtown Honolulu and the neighborhood of Waikiki. The proposed corridor of Interstate H-4 can be seen above as it was presented by the Hawaii Department of Transportation during October 1968 .
