New Guide Signs within Caltrans D7

Here's a picture of the old sign.

https://www.google.com/maps/@34.2023647,-118.2187114,3a,75y,11.28h,72.93t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1seDTLNNXZ79qmftZq9z_SbA!2e0!5s20161201T000000!7i13312!8i6656

The westbound control on the 210 was San Fernando for a long time.  A number of years ago, Caltrans decided to use Sacramento, since San Fernando was not on the list of control cities.  In the same way that the control for I-405 north and CA-170 north use Sacramento as a control since they end at I-5 northbound, even though they obviously don't go all the way to Sac, I-210 west is similarly signed as going to Sac.

FWIW, I feel San Fernando is a better control city for 210 (and 405 for that matter).

Oh, and to be clear, the gantry is at the CA-2 freeway where it ends, not the 210.  The CA-2 designation joins I-210 east for one exit and then continues on Angeles Crest Highway.  Three lanes essentially form a left exit onto I-210 west.

I agree re the control cities. D7 has been very strict with that old map they reference. The president was set long ago when 405 and other highways said Bakersfield. In recent times, other districts have been more sensible with their choice of control cities.

Thanks for pointing our the proper location. I just realized today that the sign was on the CA-2 mainline.
