Centre - Close-up of reflectorized "button copy" guide sign on Interstate 210 in San Fernando. California is slowly converting its freeway signs from the older-style reflectorized signs such as this one to newer signs with fully reflective background sheeting. However, there are still thousands of the old reflectorized signs left on the highways.

Centre - Facing east from the Orange Grove Boulevard Overpass in Pasadena towards the Interstate 210, Old Interstate 710 & Ventura Freeway (Hwy 134) Interchange. This complex stack interchange consists of several flyovers and tunnels connecting the three freeways together.

Right - Close-up of the tunnel connecting the east and west legs of Interstate 210. Most of the traffic exits the freeway here and uses either the tunnel to proceed east on Interstate 210, or the ramp in the foreground to proceed west on the Ventura Freeway (Hwy 134). The single through lane at this interchange connects to the incomplete northern section of Interstate 710. Originally, this massive interchange was supposed to be the northern terminus of the Long Beach Freeway, but the proposed freeway section through Pasadena was never built. The discontinuous northern leg of Interstate 710 ends at a surface street (Del Mar Boulevard) about one-half of a mile beyond this interchange.

Centre - Close-up of the overhead signs marking the entrance to Old Interstate 710 South. The signs no longer make any reference to Interstate 710, and now just indicate an exit to Del Mar Boulevard and California Boulevard. Traffic bound for the Pasadena Freeway (Hwy 110) is guided through Downtown Pasadena along California Boulevard and Arroyo Parkway. The Pasadena Freeway does not connect directly with any other freeways in Pasadena.

Centre - Facing north from the Colorado Boulevard Overpass along Old Interstate 710 towards the Interstate 210 and Ventura Freeway (Hwy 134) Interchange. Most of the concrete slab lanes for Old Interstate 710 end here, although one lane in each direction continues south to link with Del Mar Boulevard and California Boulevard. Note the relatively light traffic volumes on this "freeway-to-nowhere".

Right - Close-up of the end of the concrete slab lanes on the Old Interstate 710 Freeway. Only one lane is open in each direction, as this short freeway is essentially serving as an elongated ramp into Downtown Pasadena.

Centre - Exit from the Interstate 210 Tunnel in Pasadena. This tunnel passes below the entire stack interchange at the Ventura Freeway and Old Interstate 710. These lanes quickly merge with the end of the Ventura Freeway, at right. The freeway then continues east towards Pomona and San Bernardino as Interstate 210 (Foothill Freeway).

Right - Facing east along Interstate 210 (Foothill Freeway) from the Fair Oaks Avenue Overpass in Pasadena. The Ventura Freeway (Hwy 134) ends at this point, as the ramp from the Interstate 210 Tunnel can be seen merging in at right.
