Before Interstate 5 came into existence, the main corridor between Sacramento and Los Angeles was (former) Federal Route 99. Throughout the San Joaquin Valley, Federal Route 99 was synonymous with the moniker "Golden State Highway". Nowadays, Federal Route 99 no longer exists and Interstate 5 has become the valley's main thoroughfare. Interestingly, the Golden State Highway remains commemorated in Bakersfield, but not under the name "State Route 99" (as one might think)--it goes by "State Route 204", and although a freeway now parallels to its west, it interestingly still receives state funds.
