In Alameda County , it runs northward through the city of Newark , where it begins a concurrency southwards with I-880 for about one mile. Both interchanges with I-880 are partial cloverleaf interchanges . Upon separation, however,

135-554: A freeway. The other section is a north-south arterial road that begins at SR 12 in Rio Vista , passes through Ryer Island (where it connects to SR 220 ), and ends in West Sacramento . The Ryer Island Ferry provides the crossing over Cache Slough from Rio Vista to Ryer Island. The ferry is a diesel-powered boat operated by Caltrans , and is in operation twenty-four hours per day and charges no toll. There are no plans to connect

180-592: A letter, postmiles were measured on the road as it was in 1964 , based on the alignment that existed at the time, and do not necessarily reflect current mileage. R reflects a realignment in the route since then, M indicates a second realignment, L refers to an overlap due to a correction or change, and T indicates postmiles classified as temporary ( for a full list of prefixes, see California postmile § Official postmile definitions ). Segments that remain unconstructed or have been relinquished to local control may be omitted. The numbers reset at county lines;

225-475: A named route branch) Trans-Canada route marker is co-signed with a numbered provincial sign, with the provincial route often continuing alone outside the Trans-Canada Highway section. However, in the western provinces, the two parallel Trans-Canada routes are consistently numbered with Trans-Canada route markers; as Highways 1 and 16 respectively. Canada also has a designated National Highway System , but

270-426: A notable exception to this rule) in the hierarchy (route numbers are used to aid navigation, and may or may not indicate ownership or maintenance). Roads maintained by a state or province include both nationally numbered highways and un-numbered state highways. Depending on the state, "state highway" may be used for one meaning and "state road" or "state route" for the other. In some countries such as New Zealand ,

315-526: A population of at least 10,000 inhabitants are urban roads (type D and E) under the jurisdiction of the relevant municipalities. The state highway that cross towns or villages with a population of less than 10,000 inhabitants are urban roads (type D and E) under the jurisdiction of the municipality, subject to authorization from ANAS . State highways in India are numbered highways that are laid and maintained by state governments . Mexico 's State Highway System

360-542: A railroad depot, complete with a restaurant and saloon, at the Niles junction for the convenience of the transferring train passengers. Thereafter, the Vallejo Mills settlement became known as Niles and the byline Niles, Cal started to appear in newspapers by the mid-1870s. Similarly, Alameda Cañon became known as Niles Canyon. The town plat for Niles west of the new junction, with its lettered and numbered grid streets,

405-608: A three-digit number designation, preceded by D . Provincial roads ( Turkish : İl yolu ) are secondary roads, maintained by respective local governments with the support of the KGM. The roads have a four-digit numbering grouped as two pairs, pairs are separated by a dash. First pair represents the license number of that province . State highways are generally a mixture of primary and secondary roads, although some are freeways (for example, State Route 99 in California, which links many of

450-570: A three-story Flour Mill building with a large wooden wheel on the north side. According to the Alameda County Gazette (January 1857), the wheel was the overshot design, 30 feet in diameter and 8 feet broad, and the millstone was 4 feet in diameter. The Flour Mill cost $ 5,000 and had a capacity of 150 barrels of flour a day. In 1909, the 1841 adobe mill was torn down to make way for a wye-switch built by Southern Pacific Railroad. In 1865–1866, Western Pacific , one of three companies to build

540-655: Is a substantial section of highway passing through a "memorable landscape" with no "visual intrusions", where the potential designation has gained popular favor with the community. Until recent years, all of CA-84 consisted of narrow, two-lane roads in California. This has remained almost unchanged except for urban areas and the CA-84 widening project in the Tri-Valley. Route 84 is legally defined to continue from I-580 to SR 4 in Antioch , but there are currently no plans in place to bridge

585-482: Is a system of urban and state routes constructed and maintained by each Mexican state. The main purpose of the state networks is to serve as a feeder system to the federal highway system. All states except the Federal District operate a road network. Each state marks these routes with a white shield containing the abbreviated name of the state plus the route number. New Zealand state highways are national highways –

630-659: Is an east–west arterial road running from SR 1 in San Gregorio to Menlo Park , across the Dumbarton Bridge through Fremont and Newark and ending at I-580 in Livermore . The segment between Marsh Road and the Dumbarton Bridge has been upgraded to an expressway and is known as the Bayfront Expressway. The segment from the eastern end of the Dumbarton Bridge to the interchange with I-880 has been upgraded to

675-424: Is divided into provinces and territories, each of which maintains its own system of provincial or territorial highways, which form the majority of the country's highway network. There is also the national transcontinental Trans-Canada Highway system, which is marked by distinct signs, but has no uniform numeric designation across the country. In the eastern provinces, for instance, an unnumbered (though sometimes with

720-563: Is not a road class. The Strade Statali , abbreviated SS, is the Italian national network of state highways. The total length for the network is about 25.000 km (15.534 mi). The Italian state highway network are maintained by ANAS . From 1928 until 1946 state highways were maintained by Azienda Autonoma Statale della Strada (AASS). The next level of roads below Strada Statali is Strada Regionale ("regional roads"). The routes of some state highways derive from ancient Roman roads , such as

765-406: Is vested in the federal states of Germany. Most federal states use the term Landesstraße (marked with 'L'), while for historical reasons Saxony and Bavaria use the term Staatsstraße (marked with 'S'). The appearance of the shields differs from state to state. The term Land-es-straße should not be confused with Landstraße , which describes every road outside built-up areas and

810-511: The Bayfront Expressway , which features traffic signals at Menlo Park streets, at driveways serving Facebook headquarters, and at intersections with SR 114 and SR 109 . The Marsh Road intersection, in 2013, was the site where a car fatally struck cyclist Sam Felder, a Facebook employee. The SR 114 (Willow Road) intersection was the site of a car crash in which author David Halberstam was killed on April 23, 2007. SR 84 then becomes

855-684: The First transcontinental railroad to the Pacific coast, Central Pacific renamed by December 1869 the Vallejo Mill station and junction in the canyon as Niles , after their railroad attorney and stockholder, Addison Niles , who became two years later associate justice on the California Supreme Court . On April 28, 1870, Central Pacific switch over to the new junction in the valley, which sprang to life as Niles . That same year, Central Pacific also built

900-609: The Strada statale 7 Via Appia , which broadly follows the route of the Roman road of the same name . Other examples are the Strada statale 1 Via Aurelia ( Via Aurelia ) and the Strada statale 4 Via Salaria ( Via Salaria ). Since the reforms following the birth of the Kingdom of Italy in 1861, the State took charge of the construction and maintenance of a primary network of roads for connections between

945-576: The Vallejo Mills Junction and followed the line of Vallejo's aqueduct, which was torn out to build the railroad and then rebuilt. Since the junction in the canyon was confining, Central Pacific started to grade a new junction in the valley just west of the Mills to service both the 1869 transcontinental mainline as well as the 1866 Western Pacific San Jose line. That same year, J & J Vallejo's son, Plutarco Vallejo, with surveyor Luis Castro, laid out

990-542: The first transcontinental railroad , built 20 miles (32 km) of track north of San Jose towards Sacramento . This 20 miles (32 km) railroad segment skirted the Vallejo Flour Mills at the mouth of Alameda Cañon (now Niles Canyon) and reached halfway into the canyon, about a mile past the Farwell Bridge near milepost 33 where it stopped. The Western Pacific used 500 Chinese laborers to grade and construct

1035-619: The cities of the Central Valley , Route 128 in Massachusetts, or parts of Route 101 in New Hampshire). Each state has its own system for numbering and its own marker. The default marker is a white circle containing a black sans serif number (often inscribed in a black square or slightly rounded square), according to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). However each state

1080-514: The city of West Sacramento in Yolo County . It then interchanges with I-80 Business , also signed as US 50 . As it continues northward, it ends at I-80 . From north of West Sacramento, SR 84 has been relinquished and was given to the city of West Sacramento in 2003. SR 84 is part of the California Freeway and Expressway System , and from I-280 to the eastern Fremont city limits and from

1125-564: The end of its southern section. SR 84 is unconstructed from I-580 to SR 12 . The second section of SR 84 starts in Rio Vista at SR 12. It then follows the Ryer Island Ferry , which carries the route across the Cache Slough . When it leaves the ferry, it intersects SR 220 . It continues northward and meets the end of state maintenance at the West Sacramento city limit, about six miles east of an intersection with CR E19 . It then enters

1170-488: The end of the 1980s, and in some states, some less important National Routes were downgraded to State Routes. Each state has or had its own numbering scheme, but do not duplicate National Route numbers in the same state, or nearby routes in another state. As with the National Routes and National Highways, State Routes are being phased out in most states and territories in favour of alphanumeric routes. However, despite

1215-498: The fact that Victoria has fully adopted alphanumeric routes in regional areas, state route numbers are still used extensively within the city of Melbourne as a part of its Metropolitan Route Numbering Scheme . Brazil is another country that is divided into states and has state highways. For example, the longest highway in the state of São Paulo , the Rodovia Raposo Tavares , is designated as SP-270 and SP-295 . Canada

1260-508: The first subdivision of 23 lots along Vallejo Street south of the Mills and east of the new junction. The subdivision plat, dated 3 November 1869, was recorded as Vallejo Mills , a.k.a. Vallejo Mill, Vallejo's Mill, or Vallejo's Mills. Also in November, the Transcript reported that the railroad purchased a quarter section of land west of the new junction for a new town. After the completion of

1305-647: The gap at this time. A plan to build a $ 600 million toll road called the Mid-State Tollway along the proposed route was suspended in 2001 due to local opposition. In the late 2000s and 2010s, a widening project began on Route 84 from I-680 near Sunol to I-580 in Livermore. This included a better connection between Stanley Boulevard and Isabel Avenue. The project was to be done in five phases: Costs were estimated to be between $ 400 and $ 500 million. As of mid 2019, phases 1, 2, 3 and 4 are complete. This still leaves

1350-482: The juncture of La Honda Road with Portola Road to US 101 it follows Woodside Road. It passes through downtown Woodside After intersecting I-280 , it enters Redwood City , where it intersects SR 82 , which carries El Camino Real through the South Bay. A few miles later, it interchanges with US 101 , which it overlaps for a few miles. Upon routing eastward, it enters the city of Menlo Park as an expressway , called

1395-531: The main cities; in 1865 the Lanza law introduced the classification of roads between national, provincial and municipal (see Annex F, art.10) and the Royal Decree of 17 November 1865, n. 2633 listed the first 38 national roads. Italian state highways are identified by a number and a name. In road signs and maps the number is preceded by the acronym SS, an acronym for strada statale ("state road"). The nomenclature of

1440-477: The next important roads under the National highways . The number has two, three, or four digits. Highways with two-digit numbers routes are called State-funded local highways. State roads ( Turkish : Devlet yolu ) are primary roads, mostly under the responsibility of General Directorate of Highways (KGM) except in metropolitan city centers where the responsibility falls into the local government. The roads have

1485-410: The rail line into the rugged canyon with its tight curves and narrow banks. Four major timber through (Howe) truss bridges were built to cross Alameda Creek and Arroyo de la Laguna Creek. In addition to building wooden bridges and grading the railroad bed, the laborers built culverts, retaining walls, and bridge piers in masonry. In October 1866, construction was halted because of disagreements between

1530-549: The railroad's contractors and its financiers. In June 1869, the Central Pacific Railroad , a subsidiary of which had acquired the Western Pacific and Oakland Point in 1868, restarted work on the railroad line through Alameda Cañon , also using Chinese laborers, and added a new line from the canyon northwest towards Oakland . The new line started in the canyon a mile east of the Mills at a junction initially called

1575-401: The route is not built to freeway standards as it enters the city of Fremont , following the streets of Thornton Avenue, Fremont Boulevard, Peralta Boulevard, and Mowry Avenue, which after, it has a short concurrency northwards with SR 238 . SR 84 then leaves Fremont through the historic Sunol Valley . Parts of the valley are extremely narrow and are referred to as Niles Canyon ; this part of

1620-467: The route is officially a scenic route . The section is known as Niles Canyon Road , and there are legends of a Niles Canyon ghost inhabiting the area. After exiting the valley, it begins an overlap with I-680 . After separating, it runs through Vallecitos Valley. It then goes over grasslands until it reaches a pass, then enters the city of Livermore with Ruby Hill development on the left. SR 84 then runs along Isabel Avenue until it meets I-580 , as

1665-570: The southern section of CA 84 in its original condition. Both the Ryer Island Ferry and the Howard Landing Ferry along Route 220 are the only state-run ferries, and there are no plans to replace them with bridges due to the low traffic numbers around Ryer Island. The only road bridge connecting Ryer Island is on its north side, which results in longer commutes for residents if one or both ferries shutdown. Except where prefixed with

1710-774: The southern terminous of Isabel Avenue in Livermore to I-580 is part of the National Highway System , a network of highways that are considered essential to the country's economy, defense, and mobility by the Federal Highway Administration . SR 84 is eligible for the State Scenic Highway System , and is designated as a scenic highway by the California Department of Transportation from SR 238 to I-680 in Alameda County, meaning that it

1755-433: The start and end postmiles in each county are given in the county column. State highway A state highway , state road , or state route (and the equivalent provincial highway , provincial road , or provincial route ) is usually a road that is either numbered or maintained by a sub-national state or province . A road numbered by a state or province falls below numbered national highways ( Canada being

1800-631: The state highways managed by ANAS generally follows the SS n scheme, where n is a number ranging from 1 ( Aurelia ) up to 700 (of the Royal Palace of Caserta ) depending on the date of establishment of the state highway. Newly built ANAS roads, not yet classified, are identified by the acronym NSA, an acronym for nuova strada ANAS ("new ANAS road"). State highways can be technically defined as main extra-urban roads (type B road) or as secondary extra-urban roads (type C road). State highways that cross towns with

1845-462: The system is completely unsigned, aside from the Trans-Canada routes. This makes Canada unique in that national highway designations are generally secondary to subnational routes. In Germany , state roads ( Landesstraßen or Staatsstraßen ) are a road class which is ranking below the federal road network ( Bundesstraßen ).

1890-584: The two unconnected segments of SR 84 at this time. A proposed toll road called the Mid-State Tollway along the proposed route was abandoned in 2001 due to local opposition. The route begins at SR 1 on the Pacific coast near San Gregorio . It then heads northeast through San Mateo County , following San Gregorio Road and La Honda Road and crossing the Santa Cruz Mountains . As it enters Woodside , it intersects SR 35 , also known as Skyline Boulevard. From

1935-518: The word "state" in this sense means "government" or "public" (as in state housing and state schools ), not a division of a country. New Zealand's state highway system is a nationwide network of roads covering the North Island and the South Island . As of 2006, just under 100 roads have a "State Highway" designation. The NZ Transport Agency administers them. The speed limit for most state highways

1980-564: The word "state" is used in its sense of a sovereign state or country. By this meaning a state highway is a road maintained and numbered by the national government rather than local authorities. Australia 's important urban and inter-regional routes not covered by the National Highway or National Route systems are marked under the State Route system. They can be recognised by blue shield markers. They were practically adopted in all states by
