State Route 229 (SR 229) is a
Route description
SR 229 starts at SR 58 east of Santa Margarita. It travels north on Webster Road as a one-lane, windy mountain road, after which the road widens to two lanes as it approaches Rocky Canyon Road. In this segment, it is a county road much like a standard rural state route. It continues north through relatively flat, rural farmland and then passes through the small town of Creston, continuing north and terminating at SR 41.
SR 229 is not part of the National Highway System,[2] a network of highways that are considered essential to the country's economy, defense, and mobility by the Federal Highway Administration.[3]
History
SR 229 was adopted as a state route in 1933 as Legislative Route 137. It was an unsigned highway running from LRN 2 (currently US 101) near Santa Margarita to LRN 125 (formally US 466, currently SR 41).
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 ( ).[1] Segments that remain unconstructed or have been relinquished to local control may be omitted. The entire route is in San Luis Obispo County.
