California County Routes in zone J
There are 45 routes assigned to the "J" zone of the California Route Marker Program, which designates county routes in California. The "J" zone includes county highways lying in the counties of Alameda, Calaveras, Contra Costa, Fresno, Kern, Inyo, Mariposa, Merced, Sacramento, San Benito, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, and Tulare.
J1
County Route J1 is a county road in San Benito and Fresno Counties. The route begins in Paicines, San Benito County, at State Route 25. Between Paicines and Panoche Valley, J1 is known as Panoche Road. Its north–south portion between Panoche Valley and Fresno County is called Little Panoche Road. In Fresno County, the route then intersects with Interstate 5 and terminates in Mendota at State Route 33 near State Route 180 in the Central Valley. East of Interstate 5, the alignment of J1 follows Fresno County's West Shields Avenue (which is Exit 379 off of Interstate 5). Shields Avenue ends at North Fairfax Avenue. J1 continues south two miles (3 km) on Fairfax Avenue to West Belmont Avenue, at which location J1 proceeds east on Belmont Avenue until its end at State Routes 33 and 180.
Panoche Road lies within the corridor of an unbuilt Route 180 segment. No current plan exists to extend Route 180 westward from Mendota westward past Interstate 5 and into San Benito County [1].
J2
County Route J2 is a series of streets and roads in the California counties of Alameda and San Joaquin.
J2 begins at Interstate 580's interchange with Portola Avenue in Livermore. The route follows Portola to Livermore Avenue, where J2 turns southward to pass through Livermore's downtown. The highway continues past the southeast edge of Livermore to become Tesla Road and rise into the Diablo Range, which separates the outer San Francisco Bay Area from the San Joaquin Valley.
At the Alameda-San Joaquin county line, J2 becomes Corral Hollow Road and enters the narrow valley of the same name. Upon approaching the San Joaquin Valley, the road turns northward, meeting Interstate 580 again and arriving at the southern subdivisions of Tracy. After passing through this city, the road intersects Interstate 205, shifts briefly onto Lammers Road, and soon turns northward onto Tracy Boulevard. Here J2 crosses the sea-level Union and Roberts Islands in the San Joaquin-Sacramento River Delta before terminating at State Route 4.
J3
County Route J3 is a county road in central California that runs 35 miles (56 km) north-south through Stanislaus and San Joaquin Counties.
The route begins 2 miles (3 km) east of Vernalis as Kasson Road, running northward from the road's intersection with State Route 132. After almost 3 miles (5 km) the route meets Airport Way and follows it northward 21 miles (34 km) past Manteca, Lathrop, and French Camp into Stockton. J3 then follows West Lane 10 miles (16 km) out from Stockton and becomes Hutchins Street for the route's last 1 mile (2 km). The route reaches its northern end at State Route 12 near Lodi.
The highway is also known as Stanislaus County Route J4 and San Joaquin County Route J4, though all but 1 mile (2 km) of the route is within San Joaquin County.
J4
County Route J4 is a county road in central California that runs 28 miles (45 km) nominally north–south across portions of San Joaquin County, Alameda County and Contra Costa County that are growing in population and suburbanization. The highway connects the suburbs of the far outer East Bay and the Sacramento River Delta with the northern San Joaquin Valley.
The route begins 9 miles (14 km) southeast of Tracy at County Route J3, passes through Tracy and Byron, and terminates at State Route 4 between Discovery Bay and Brentwood.
The portion between Tracy and Brentwood lies along the unconstructed corridor of State Route 239. SAFETEA-LU, federal legislation enacted in 2005, authorized $14 million in federal appropriations toward construction of the route.
