Southbound Interstate 15 reaches its interchange with California 60/Pomona Freeway once it enters Riverside County. The east-west freeway heads west to Pomona and Los Angeles and east to Riverside and Moreno Valley. Photo taken 06/27/04.
The last section of Interstate 15 to be completed in Riverside County was generally between California 60 and California 91. Once constructed in the 1980s as a six-lane freeway, it has not been upgraded since then. Traffic delays such as this congestion during commuting hours, have escalated on Interstate 15 as more cars and trucks use the freeway. Photo taken 03/25/05.
Passing under California 60, the highest ramps fly over the top of Interstate 15. Photo taken 03/25/05.
Once Interstate 15 passes California 60/Pomona Freeway, the next exit is Exit 103, Limonite Avenue, followed by Exit 100, Junction Business Loop I-15 South/Sixth Street and Exit 98, Second Street (Junction Business Loop I-15 north). Photo taken 06/27/04.
The section of Interstate 15 between California 60 and California 91 was constructed in the mid-1980s and features a different design standard than the section north of California 60 and south of California 91. One of these features is the smaller sign bridges, such as this one found along southbound at Exit 103, Limonite Avenue. Limonite Avenue heads east to Pedley and Rubidoux (ending at Business California 60/Mission Boulevard just west of Riverside), roughly following the Santa Ana River. Photo taken 06/27/04.
The next exit along southbound is Exit 100, Junction Business Loop I-15 south/Sixth Street west to Norco and Sixth Street east to Riverside via California Avenue and La Sierra Avenue. Photo taken 06/27/04.
This mileage sign provides the distance to three of the next four exits: Exit 100, Junction Business Loop I-15/Sixth Avenue; Exit 98, Second Avenue (Junction Business Loop I-15 north); Exit 97, Hidden Valley Parkway (omitted); and Exits 96B-A, Junction California 91/Riverside Freeway. Photo taken 06/27/04.
This roadside sign ("Rte 15 Business") along southbound is located immediately after the Santa Ana River Bridge. In addition to serving Sixth Avenue, Exit 100 also accesses Business Loop I-15 south and Norco Drive. Photo taken 06/27/04.
Southbound Interstate 15 reaches Exit 100, Junction Business Loop I-15 south/Sixth Street. There is space on this overhead sign to fit a business loop shield, but it is doubtful any such shield was ever intended to be mounted on this sign. The business loop heads west on Sixth Avenue to Hamner Avenue, then follows former California 31/Hamner Avenue through Norco south to Second Avenue. Business Loop I-15 then turns east on Second Avenue to rejoin Interstate 15. Photo taken 03/25/05.
The next exit along southbound Interstate 15 is Exit 98, Junction Business Loop I-15 north/Second Street. The business loop only follows former California 31 between Exits 100 and 98. Photo taken 03/25/05.
The next two exits along southbound Interstate 15 are Exit 98, Junction Business Loop I-15 north/Second Street, 0.75 mile, followed by Exit 97, Hidden Valley Parkway, 1.50 miles. Photo taken 03/25/05.
Southbound Interstate 15 reaches Exit 98, Junction Business Loop I-15 north and Second Street west to Norco and River Road. Photo taken 03/25/05.
The next exit along southbound is Exit 97, Hidden Valley Parkway. Use Hidden Valley Parkway east to reach McKinley Street (which meets California 91 at Exit 53 near Home Gardens in eastern Corona) and west to old California 31/Hamner Avenue. Photo taken 03/25/05.
After the Hidden Valley Parkway interchange, Interstate 15 will meet California 91, the Riverside Freeway, at Exits 96B-A. Photo taken 03/25/05.
Southbound Interstate 15 reaches Exit 97, Hidden Valley Parkway. Hidden Valley Parkway is the final Norco exit. After Exit 97, Interstate 15 enters the city of Corona. Photo taken 03/25/05.
The next exit along southbound Interstate 15 is Exit 96B, Junction California 91/Riverside Freeway east to Riverside and west to Orange County (Yorba Linda, Anaheim, Fullerton, and Buena Park), southern Los Angeles County (Cerritos, Norwalk, Bellflower, Paramount, Compton, Carson, Torrance, Lawndale, and Hermosa Beach/Junction California 1), Long Beach via Interstate 605 or Interstate 710, and Orange County beach areas via California 55. Photo taken 06/27/04.
This reassurance shield for south Interstate 15 is posted after the onramp from Hidden Valley Parkway. The right lane becomes exit only for California 91/Exits 96B-A. Photo taken 06/27/04.
The single exit only lane widens into two lanes as southbound Interstate 15 approaches California 91. Signed east-west, most of California 91 follows the original alignment of U.S. 91 roughly between Interstate 5 and California 60/Interstate 215. U.S. 91 was decommissioned along with many other California U.S. routes in 1964; signs were removed shortly thereafter. Photo taken 06/27/04.
Southbound Interstate 15 reaches Exit 96B, Junction California 91/Riverside Freeway west to Orange County and southern Los Angeles County (including connections to most beach areas). The next exit is Exit 96A, Junction California 91/Riverside County east to Riverside. Photo taken 06/27/04.
This picture shows the Interstate 15/California 91 as seen from the transition ramp from southbound Interstate 15 onto westbound California 91. Photo taken 06/27/04.
Southbound Interstate 15 next reaches Exit 96A, Junction California 91 north to Riverside. Photo taken 03/25/05.

This mileage sign provides the distance to Lake Elsinore, Escondido, and San Diego. Omitted from this list are Murrieta and Temecula near the merge with Interstate 215, just north of the Riverside-San Diego County Line. Photo taken 03/25/05.
