Business routes of Interstate 15
Twenty-two business routes of Interstate 15 exist.
Escondido business loop
Interstate 15 Business provides access to downtown Escondido as Centre City Parkway. It follows the former routing of U.S. Route 395.
I-15 Business begins at I-15 exit 28 near the southern city limits of Escondido. It runs parallel to I-15 north through the city. It intersects both the westbound and eastbound portions of County Route S6, which in this area is split into one-way roads (which are in turn separated by another street). This intersection provides access to the end of the Sprinter commuter train line. Shortly thereafter, I-15 Business intersects County Route S14, and then interchanges with State Route 78. The interchange is the last interchange on the 78 before its freeway status ends, and there are only ramps for a westbound entrance or eastbound exit. Continuing north, I-15 Business intersects with El Norte Parkway, a major arterial road, before reconnecting with Interstate 15 at I-15 exit 34 near the northern city limits of Escondido. Though the street itself continues northward well on into Temecula as a frontage road for Interstate 15, its designation as Business 15 ends at this interchange.
