U. S. Route 101, or U. S. Highway 101, is a U.S. highway running north-south through the states of California, Oregon, and Washington, on the far West Coast of the United States. The system of United States Numbered Highways (often called U The " West Coast " " Western Seaboard " or " Pacific Seaboard " are terms for the westernmost coastal states of the Western United States It is also known as El Camino Real (The Royal Road) where its route along the southern and central California coast approximates the old trail which linked the Spanish missions, pueblos and presidios. El Camino Real ( Spanish for The Royal Road or The King's Highway) was the name of a series of pre-automobile Highways linking the various The Spanish missions in California comprise a series of Religious outposts established by Spanish Catholics of the Franciscan Order between It merges at some points with California Route 1. State Route 1, often called Highway 1, is a State highway that runs along much of the Pacific coast of the U

According to the AASHTO's numbering scheme for U.S. Highways, three-digit route numbers are generally subsidiaries of two-digit routes. AASHTO, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, is a standards setting body which publishes specifications test protocols and The system of United States Numbered Highways (often called U However, the principal north-south routes were assigned numbers ending in 1. Rather than lose four available north-south numbers (93, 95, 97, and 99) or assign the primary west coast highway a "lesser" number, the AASHTO made an exception to its two-digit rule. Thus, U. S. 101 is treated as a primary, two-digit route with a "first digit" of 10, rather than a spur of U.S. 1. US Route 1 (US 1 is a major north-south US Highway that serves the East Coast of the United States. Thus U. S. Route 101, not U.S. 99, is the westernmost north-south route in the U. US Route 99 was the main north-south highway on the West Coast of the United States until 1964 running from Calexico California, on the U S. Highway system.

U. S. Route 101 was once the major north-south link along the Pacific coast. North of San Francisco, it has been replaced in importance by the highways of the Interstate Highway System, specifically Interstate 5, which is more modern in its physical design. The Dwight D Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways, commonly called the Interstate Highway System (or simply the Interstate System) Interstate 5 (I-5 is the main Interstate highway on the West Coast of the United States, paralleling the Pacific Ocean from Canada to Mexico Route 101 is still in use as a parallel freeway or highway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, and is an alternative to the Interstate for most of its length. In 1964, California truncated its southern terminus in Los Angeles, as Interstate 5 replaced it. The old road is known as county road S-21 or Historic Route 101 in northern San Diego County.

The highway's "northern" terminus is in Olympia, Washington, though the northernmost point on the highway is in Port Angeles. Olympia is the Capital of Washington and is the County seat of Thurston County. Washington ( is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. Port Angeles is a city in and the County seat of Clallam County, Washington, United States. The southern terminus of U. S. 101 is in Los Angeles, California at the East Los Angeles Interchange, the world's busiest freeway interchange. Los Angeles (lɑˈsændʒələs los ˈaŋxeles in Spanish) is the largest City in the state of California and the American West California ( is a US state on the West Coast of the United States, along the Pacific Ocean.

History

Parts of Historic Route 101 can still be found in San Diego County between Oceanside and the border with Mexico under a variety of different names. San Diego County is a County located on the Pacific Ocean in the far southwest of the U Oceanside is the third-largest city in San Diego County, California. The United Mexican States ( or commonly Mexico (ˈmɛksɪkoʊ () is a federal constitutional Republic in North America. Through Oceanside it is called Coast Highway. In Carlsbad it becomes Carlsbad Blvd, but to the south in Encinitas it is Coast Highway 101. Carlsbad is a seaside resort-town in the North County section of San Diego County California. Encinitas is a coastal city in northern San Diego County California, United States. Solana Beach keeps it consistent with Highway 101, but Del Mar changes it to Camino Del Mar. Solana Beach is a city in San Diego County, California, United States. Del Mar is a city in San Diego County, California, United States. All of those together make up San Diego County Route S21. County Route S21 is a south-north running Road serving the coastal communities of northern San Diego County, running from San Diego in the south to From there it continues along Torrey Pines Road to Interstate 5 in La Jolla. Interstate 5 (I-5 is the main Interstate highway on the West Coast of the United States, paralleling the Pacific Ocean from Canada to Mexico La Jolla (ləˈhɔɪə "luh-HOY-uh") is a wealthy Seaside resort community of up to 42808 residents within the city of San Diego, California The old 101 routing continues on I-5 in San Diego until Pacific Highway, the old U. S. 101 freeway a little west of current I-5. It then continued on Harbor Drive and Broadway through Downtown San Diego and Chula Vista, then onto National City Blvd in National City. Chula Vista ( is a city in southern San Diego County, California, United States. National City is a city in San Diego County, California, United States. The southern parts of I-5 were U. S. 101 for a period before I-5 was completed also. All have been decommissioned, but the roadways still exist and are occasionally signed as Historic 101.

Most of Historic 101 between Gilroy and San Francisco is still active, either signed as Business 101 or as State Route 82. The 101A bypass, however, is mostly discontinuous and is paralleled by the actual freeway, in some cases serving as an access road to the freeway.

Large parts of the old U. S. Business 101 and State Route 82 surface roads between San Francisco and San Diego are designated El Camino Real (The Royal Road), a designation originally given any thoroughfare under the direct authority of the King of Spain and his viceroys. State Route 82 runs from US Route 101 at Blossom Hill Road in San Jose to Interstate 280 in San Francisco following the San Francisco El Camino Real ( Spanish for The Royal Road, also known as The King's Highway) usually refers to the 600- Mile (966- Kilometer) These portions constitute the first major road in California.

The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension Bridge spanning the Golden Gate, the opening of the San Francisco Bay onto the Pacific Ocean 101-W (west) followed the same general right-of-way of today's 101 from San Jose to San Francisco. 101-E (east) generally followed the right-of-way taken by today's I-880 from San Jose to Oakland. Since there was no Golden Gate Bridge yet, 101-W became a ferry ride across the Golden Gate Strait. As today, 101-W proceeded up Van Ness, but without any left turn at Lombard, ending at the Hyde Street Pier. The Hyde Street Pier is a historic Ferry Pier located on the northern waterfront of San Francisco California, amidst the tourist zone of Fisherman's From there, motorists would drive onto a ferry boat which would cross the Golden Gate to Sausalito, where they would drive off the ferry directly onto the main street of Sausalito, which was signed for U. Sausalito (from Spanish: sauzalito "small willow grove" from sauce "willow" + collective derivative -al meaning "place S. 101 once again. ^[4]

The 101-E designation was removed by the 1940s and became state Route 17 (later Interstates 880 and 580) between San Jose and Santa Rosa. As the Bayshore Freeway was built along the east side of the San Francisco peninsula in the early 1950s, old U. S. 101 along the El Camino Real was posted as U. S. 101 Alternate or 101-a, and the freeway was marked U. S. 101-Bypass or 101-B. In 1964, when California renumbering numerous state highways, El Camino was renumbered California 82 and the Bayshore Freeway lost the Bypass designation.
