California State Highway 91 - Definition and Overview

California State Highway 91 (CA/SR-91) is a major east-west freeway located entirely within Southern California. This freeway serves multiple communities in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Its eastern terminus is located in Riverside at the junction with the Pomona/Moreno Valley Freeway, California State Highway 60 (CA/SR-60). Its western terminus is located just west of the junction with the Harbor Freeway, Interstate 110 (I-110) near Gardena. West of this junction, the freeway becomes a regular suface street (but continues with the CA/SR-91 assignment).

From the Harbor Freeway to its intersection with the Long Beach Freeway in northern Long Beach, it is named the Gardena Freeway. Between the Long Beach Freeway and its intersection with the Santa Ana Freeway in Fullerton, it is named the Artesia Freeway. From the Santa Ana Freeway to its eastern terminus at the intersection of the Pomona/Moreno Valley Freeway (CA/SR-60), CA/SR-91 is named the Riverside Freeway.

Although CA/SR-91 is an east-west road, it inherited its odd (as opposed to even) number from the now mostly decommissioned U.S. Route 91 (U.S. 91) which passed through the Inland Empire in a northeasterly direction on its way to Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, and points beyond. Those segments of U.S. 91 now parallel, or have been replaced altogether, by Interstate 15 (I-15).

CA/SR-91 traverses (from west to east) through Los Angeles, Orange, and Riverside counties.
