California Road System

California’s road system consists of a network of highways, freeways, and local roads managed primarily by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). It includes major routes like interstates and state highways that facilitate regional and long-distance travel, as well as smaller roads serving cities, towns, and rural areas. The system is designed to support economic activity, commute, and transportation of goods, with features such as overpasses, bridges, and traffic management systems to improve safety and efficiency. Regular maintenance and upgrades are essential to address traffic demands and infrastructure aging.
