The California Freeway and Expressway System is a system of existing or planned freeways and expressways in the U.S. state of California. It encompasses both State highways and federal highways in California. It was defined by Article 2 (commencing with section 250) of Chapter 2 of Division 1 of the Streets and Highways Code.
The state highway system of the U.S. state of California is a network of highways that are owned and maintained by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). Each highway is assigned a Route (officially State Highway Route [1] [2]) number in the Streets and Highways Code (Sections 300–635).
Parts of I-580 and the entirety of I-880 were formerly SR 17 until the highway was truncated in 1984.

A movement in a myriad of rural counties across deep blue states such as Illinois and California to split off and form new states appears to be gaining some steam in the wake of the Nov. 5 election.
California's roads consisted of crude dirt roads maintained by county governments, as well as some paved streets in certain cities, and this ad hoc system was no longer adequate for the needs of the state's rapidly growing population. After the commissioners submitted their report to the governor on November 25, 1896, the legislature replaced ...
