State Route 42 (SR 42) was a state highway in southern region of the U.S. state of California, running along Manchester Avenue, Manchester Boulevard and Firestone Boulevard in Los Angeles and the cities south of it. After 1968, it ran from State Route 1 west of Inglewood (near Los Angeles International Airport) east to Interstate 5 in Norwalk. Though signed as SR 42, it was officially Route 105 until replaced by the parallel Interstate 105 around 1990.〔(January 1, 2006 California Log of Bridges on State Highways )〕 From then until the last piece was turned over to local maintenance in 2000, it was an unrelinquished piece of Route 105, and continued to be signed as SR 42.〔(California Highways: Former State Route 42 )〕 ==Route description== Manchester Avenue begins in Los Angeles near the Pacific Ocean at Vista del Mar Lane, and becomes a major road at Pershing Drive. The part west of Lincoln Boulevard (State Route 1) was never a numbered route. East of Sepulveda Boulevard, Manchester Avenue crosses into Inglewood, where it is known as Manchester Boulevard. It jogs about two blocks to the north just west of Interstate 405, and back to the south after passing downtown Inglewood. Upon crossing back into Los Angeles, it is again Manchester Avenue. At Central Avenue, the road leaves Los Angeles into Walnut Park and becomes Firestone Boulevard, which passes through South Gate and Downey, ending in Norwalk at a merge with Interstate 5 (the Santa Ana Freeway), where SR 42 ended. The name continues however on the frontage roads of I-5 until it enters Buena Park at Artesia Boulevard, where the name changes back to Manchester Boulevard until Orangethorpe Avenue. Manchester Boulevard in Buena Park has since been changed to Auto Center Drive in August 2006. The frontage road begins again in Anaheim, named Manchester Avenue in several pieces between Euclid Street and State College Boulevard. Metro Local line 115 operates on Manchester Avenue and Firestone Boulevard. Manchester Avenue serves a Harbor Transitway station underneath the Harbor Freeway. Firestone Boulevard intersects with the Metro Blue Line light rail, served by the station of the same name in Walnut Park. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「California State Route 42」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
