Up until 1969, Highway 99 was signed as  a US highway.  Due to its undesirable and sub-standard  infrastructure for commercial traffic, Highway 99 was decommissioned as a federal route,  and was demoted to State Route status.  Since then, Interstate 5 has taken its place as California's  north-south artery.  Over the years however, Highway 99 has made considerable road condition improvements; some argue that 99 is now up to Interstate standards.  Will Highway 99 someday be "Interstate 7"?
