Carmel Valley Road served as a de facto California 56 until 2004, when the freeway link was completed. 03/24/06

By 2008, the signage for SR 56 and Carmel Valley Road had changed. Exit numbers were added to the Carmel Valley Road off-ramp, and replacement pull-through signage was placed on the adjacent Local Bypass. 03/24/06

This sign referenced that Interstate 5 entered the Cardiff-by-the-Sea community of Encinitas. When the city of Encinitas was formed, population and elevation numbers were removed from this sign. This is unusual, since most communities that are part of larger cities (such as La Jolla or Clairemont in San Diego) were not acknowledged with city limit signs such as this one. 05/22/04

The signs along this section of Interstate 5 were replaced in Spring 2006. 11/14/04
