State Route 371 is a short connector from SR 79 near Aguanga in the USA to SR 74 near Anza. It is a heavily used shortcut from southwestern Riverside County to the Coachella Valley via SR 74. This was part of SR 71 until 1973, when SR 79 and SR 71 were co-signed from Aguanga to Temecula. In 1974, the portion of SR 71 from Temecula to Corona along I-15's current alignment was deleted and the orphaned route from Aguanga to Anza was re-signed as SR 371.
Before 2003, the intersection with SR 79 was a very dangerous one, as northbound SR 79 traffic had to stop at a stop sign and there was no such sign for southbound SR 79 traffic or for SR 371 traffic headed towards its western terminus. Now, there are stop signs in every direction at that intersection.
[edit] Major intersections
- Note: Except where prefixed with a letter, postmiles were measured in 1964, based on the alignment as it existed at that time, and do not necessarily reflect current mileage.
The entire route is in Riverside County.
