California
Interstate business routes in California are designated by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), but are usually relinquished back to local jurisdiction for maintenance. Along Interstate 10, business routes are signed and maintained by municipal authorities where they do not overlay state highways, and are not officially a part of the state highway system. The business loop in Blythe is the only one that remains sufficiently well signed for navigation. Although the other former routes along I-10 may have some remnant shields remaining, these loops are not signed from I-10 nor sufficiently signed for motorists to be able to find their way along their routes.

Famous quotes containing the word california:
“The Indian remarked as before, “Must have hard wood to cook moose-meat,” as if that were a maxim, and proceeded to get it. My companion cooked some in California fashion, winding a long string of the meat round a stick and slowly turning it in his hand before the fire. It was very good. But the Indian, not approving of the mode, or because he was not allowed to cook it his own way, would not taste it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The California fever is not likely to take us off.... There is neither romance nor glory in digging for gold after the manner of the pictures in the geography of diamond washing in Brazil.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“The apparent ease of California life is an illusion, and those who believe the illusion will live here in only the most temporary way.”
—Joan Didion (b. 1935)
