In the U.S. state of California, U.S. Route 95 traverses through the far eastern edges of both Riverside and San Bernardino counties. US 95 serves Blythe and Needles and junctions with SR 62 at Vidal Junction.
The route is multiplexed with two Interstate highways, specifically Interstates 10 near Blythe and 40 near Needles.
This route is part of the California Freeway and Expressway System[2] and is eligible for the State Scenic Highway System[3].
It is also one of four U.S. Highways in California not affected by the 1964 renumbering[4], the others being U.S. Route 97[5] and U.S. Route 199[6] in the northern portion of the state, and U.S. Route 395 which was truncated for other reasons in 1969[7].
[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 numbers reset at county lines; the start and end postmiles in each county are given in the county column.
