State Route 154
California 154 remains entirely within Santa Barbara County and provides an inland alternative to U.S. 101 between Los Olivos and Santa Barbara via an inland route. It was originally part of a much longer California 150, connecting all of California 246 (via Surf, Solvang, and Santa Ynez), all of California 154, California 192 through Santa Barbara (Foothill Road and East Valley Road), and the existing California 150 between Carpinteria and Santa Paula under California 150.
