3:22 The I-110/91 freeway interchange is in the City of Los Angeles. Which has a narrow corridor that extends all the way south to the port of Los Angeles.
2:10 old Rams house where Eric Dickerson and Jerome Bettis rumbled through defenders in the 80s and early 90s. Now it's a baseball park where sadly Mike Trout could not catch a break.
I used to Drive OCTA Express Bus Route 757 which is now defunct. It ran on this freeway. This route ran between Santa Ana, & Pomona Park & Ride Primarily following the 57 freeway.
I think that 210 east of the 57 is a state highway because it was originally CA 30 and had several missing sections. IIRC, the new sections that fill the gaps are up to Interstate highway standards, but many of the original CA 30 sections are not. When Governor Gray Davis signed the legislation to complete the 210 to I-10 in Redlands, he proclaimed that it would be the last freeway ever built in California. That proclamation was one of several reasons that he was recalled and replaced by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Heading north, you didn't mention the first exit also called Chapman Ave. Yes there are two completely different Chapman's off the 57. This freeway was originally slated to begin in the south at the 405, but was eliminated years later. The mileposts on the white signs on bridges and overpasses used to reflect that proposed routing. I didn't hear SR 90 Inperial Hwy mentioned.
Nice job as always. Bizarre as it looks, the 57 is literally the boundary btw. Placenta & Anaheim at that point so I don't know how else they would do that. Also, CA-210 isn't 100% to Interstate standards but apparently will be in the future. Until then, I-210 does not intersect its parent I-10 which is an oddity of course.
Hey, Todd. As you exit to Katella Ave from CA 57, on the east, you'll find the Honda Center, home of the NHL's 30-year-old Anaheim Ducks. Fun fact: The Anaheim Ducks are named after the 1992 movie, "The Mighty Ducks", also made by Disney. To the west is Disneyland. Say, the Ducks and Disneyland are well-connected and related.
The only time I’ve visited California I noticed the city limits signs being on the side of the wall too. Haven’t seen that anywhere but the la area which is where we went maybe just a crazy California thing 😂
Even within California, it's rare. I've only seen them on sound walls in dense urban areas where there's no shoulder space to put them on a conventional signpost.
Good catch. There is a strip of Los Angeles varying from two miles to as little as one block wide connecting LA Harbor to the rest of the city. The interchange between Route 91 and I-110 uses virtually the entire width of the strip at that point. Similarly, San Diego's annexation of the border crossing in San Ysidro included a strip down the middle of San Diego Bay to go around the cities of Chula Vista and National City. And Santa Barbara's airport is connected to the rest of the city by a strip of open ocean to bypass neighborhoods that wanted no part of annexation.
I spent many times trucking on 57 when I would deliver in City of industry and then use 60 to 57 to get to i10 towards Ontario, Ca........I always remember the interchange with i10 was a mess and bottleneck traffic was common...
8:31 am going there the reason it looks so rural right there is bc they have agriculture programs and horse programs as well. Also the exit to Cal poly off 57 is temple ave and it doesn’t say it anywhere unlike the exit from I10 that’s signed directly for cal poly
Katella Avenue! I've been on that road before! Wasn't for Disney, though Got lost in a hood nearby, played soccer with some random schoolchildren.. BlizzCon '08
Take the Big A scoreboard and put it back in the stadium It was moved next to the freeway when the stadium was enclosed for the Rams in the late 1970's
Here's my payment for the exit requests that I made for US 301 over on the Patreon. I decided to throw in a little extra because I figured I'd make it worth your troubles. I'm really looking forward to when that video comes out! :D
I-5 and CA 57 signing Santa Ana is important since Santa Ana is the county seat of Orange County. I'm okay for CA 57 to sign Santa Ana to the south, but as for I-5 in both directions, I'll probably put Santa Ana as a secondary control city and by southbound, the primary will be San Diego while for north, the primary should be Los Angeles.
Yup, this. It's Cal State Fullerton, not UC Fullerton. They are two different systems (UCs are considered the higher level one, as they are allowed to grant Doctorates. Cal States mostly* can only grant Masters degrees with a few limited exceptions)
D'oh, my bad. I always forget which ones are UCs and which are Cal States. As a non-Californian I generally only pay attention to the 4 former Pac 10 schools, where I know 2 are UCs and 2 are private.
Here is my request (and some facts) for US 301! Exit 5 (DE71) Part of the old alignment of 301 is on this road. 301 used to be on a concurrency with DE 71 and DE 896 and terminate at US 40. US 301 in Delaware is the only highway (that I'm aware of) that uses mileage-based exits. Now if only I-95, 295, 495, and DE 1 would follow suit. There are also no mileage signs, either, but at the interchanges it's signed for Wilmington/Annapolis.
@ControlCityFreak It is really the only shooting location left from the movie too. The Scottsdale high school that was used as San Dimas High has been remodeled and looks completely different. The mall used, Metro Center Mall, has been closed for a while and is slated for demolition. The Circle K closed and is now a different convenience store. All Phoenix area locations.
4:50 I am guessing that California 57 used to be signed as something else as the California 57 shield on the overhead sign is obviously covering up another highway shield? EDIT: I'm guessing that it is because that part used to be I-210?
@@ControlCityFreakCorrect. Until about 15 years ago the portion of the 57 from I-10 to the I-210 was I-210. Then they replaced CA 30. which had replaced old US 66 east of the 57-210 junction, with the 210 freeway. About five to seven years ago they had a huge celebration for the "last major freeway"'s completion and dedication.
11:10 did you note that there are actually two different Chapman avenues? One in Orange, and one In Fullerton. These are two completely different streets that do not connect.
I am rather surprised that neither Katella Bl. or Ball Rd. have no signage for Disneyland on the actual freeway. There IS signage for Disneyland once you're on the Katella offramp on both the northbound and southbound sides. In fact, The Pond (errrr...ummm....The Honda Center) has more signage on the Katella Bl. and Ball Rd. offramps than Angel Stadium, the convention center, or Disneyland.
2:05 probably because Disneyland is several miles down Katella From this freeway. It would be far more expedient for you to remain on the 5 freeway to get to Disneyland
Exiting north on the 57 to get to Disneyland is not smart. Stay on the 5. Going south on the 57 you would exit Ball Road. The Anaheim city limits sign is just before the Orangewood bridge.
The list is very simple, with the usual modus operandi: left to right is northbound; vice versa is southbound. Santa Ana-Anaheim-Fullerton-Pomona As for an incomprehensive list of musical acts from the Los Angeles metro, I gathered The Doors, Jane’s Addiction, Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg, War, Los Lobos, Beck, N.W.A., Tom Waits, Ritchie Valens, Jackson Browne, Black Eyed Peas, Van Halen, The Beach Boys, Metallica, The Carpenters, Eagles, Guns N Roses, HAIM Billie Eilish, The Mamas and the Papas, Etta James, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Doja Cat and Bonnie Raitt. My net for ‘Los Angeles’ is anything in Los Angeles or Orange Counties. However, even with the music quiz I referenced being broken down into two Californian halves (north and south), no answers were given for any acts from Orange County, for some reason. Every other musical act featured in the SoCal quiz were from counties outside of the two defined as the Los Angeles metro. Katy Perry is from Santa Barbara County, Merle Haggard from Kern County, Cher from Imperial County, Anderson.paak from Ventura County, and Olivia Rodrigo from Riverside County. I had to find acts from Orange County on my own, but I did select three: No Doubt (your intro music), The Offspring and Avenged Sevenfold. I’ll be more familiar with next week’s entry in Northern California, so I look forward to that video!
@@S_Over_Street I would have thought that Ice Cube was covered under the N.W.A. entry?

That’s another road I’ve been on countless times over the years.
It’s ALWAYS a CF where the 60&57 come together.
Thanks Todd!!
5:40 As a proud waterpark enthusiast, I’m glad you pointed out the exit for Raging Waters. I would love to get there at some point!
If I remember correctly, CA60 used to be original western terminus of US60.

Raging Waters, were the 10, 57, and 210 meet. I remember those tv ads from the 90s.

I used to Drive OCTA Express Bus Route 757 which is now defunct. It ran on this freeway. This route ran between Santa Ana, & Pomona Park & Ride Primarily following the 57 freeway.
Pomona College is in Claremont, one of the Claremont Colleges. It's about halfway between the 10 and the 210.

4:55 You gotta love how on the 60 sign the font for Pomona and Riverside are different from each other. lol
Lol
I-210 and California 210 is just like I-15 in San Diego. The southern end is California 15 before becoming I-15.
The difference, 210 is entirely interstate standards. 15 south of the 94 is not.
I don't think CA 210 is totally up to interstate standards. Hence the change.

I usually visit my wife’s family around the CA57 at Placentia, Fullerton & Brea area. I’m sooo used to this area now.

I wish I knew you were doing the 57. I would’ve done a donation to shout out Chapman Ave, the street my wife grew up on
Fullerton Resident Here! The 57 is always a nightmare coming from the 91. The Chapman exit is usually the worst
Nutwood rd and city limit signs on walls I would have never known thanks Todd lol
2:59 according to google maps, 91’s interchange with I-110 is in a panhandle of LA

I read it somewhere that CA 210 wasn't up to interstate standards. When you travel it, it sure seems like it is. I guess it kinda is what it is?
