Business Loop 5 shield

State Route 265, part of Weed Boulevard, is a state highway in Siskiyou County, California, USA. It spurs out of U.S. Route 97 in Weed while carrying Business Loop 5 from that intersection to Interstate 5. It was once part of U.S. Route 99. At a distance of 0.7 miles, it is the shortest signed California state highway. For many years the route was hidden, but was signed in 2005 in anticipation of a complete redesign/reconstruction of Weed Boulevard.^{[citation needed]} Previously, the only visual proof of the route was the bridge ID that was spraypainted on the base of the Interstate 5 overpass, i.e. "265 overcrossing".
