property right concerns.[2][3]

Route description

State Route 174 begins at exit 135 of

freeway before ending just beyond at Auburn Street,[1] the former surface routing of SR 49.[6]

SR 174 is not part of the National Highway System,[7] a network of highways that are considered essential to the country's economy, defense, and mobility by the Federal Highway Administration.[8] SR 174 is eligible to be included in the State Scenic Highway System,[9] but it is not officially designated as a scenic highway by the California Department of Transportation.[10]

History

The

1964 renumbering, the highway received a signed designation, State Route 174.[15]

Local residents created the Colfax Highway Association in 1967 at the

property rights of residents along the highway, for instance requiring them to use "natural colors".[20] The opposition was successful,[3] and SR 174 remains eligible for State Scenic Highway status but is not a State Scenic Highway.[10]

Major intersections

Except where prefixed with a letter, postmiles were measured on the road as it was in 1964, based on the alignment that existed at the time, and do not necessarily reflect current mileage. R reflects a realignment in the route since then, M indicates a second realignment, L refers to an overlap due to a correction or change, and T indicates postmiles classified as temporary (for a full list of prefixes, see California postmile § Official postmile definitions).[1] Segments that remain unconstructed or have been relinquished to local control may be omitted. The numbers reset at county lines; the start and end postmiles in each county are given in the county column.
