Interstate 5

Interstate 5 is an interstate highway along the west coast of the United States. Like other interstates, it is commonly referred to as I-5 by most Americans (Southern Californians typically call it the 5). Its odd number indicates that it is primarily a north-south highway (though in much of California it runs in a northwest-southeast direction). It extends from San Ysidro, California, south of San Diego, at the Mexican border, to Blaine, Washington at the Canadian border and, apart from the San Francisco Bay Area, which lies just to its west, it links most of the major metropolitan areas on the West Coast.

Intersections with other Interstates

Spur routes

I-305 in Sacramento is the hidden Interstate designation for Business Loop I-80 and US 50 between I-80 in West Sacramento and State Highway 99 near downtown Sacramento. Unlike most signed routes in California, there is no assigned Calfornia State Route 305, but the number is reserved because I-305 is still used for funding petitions for this road. [1]
