California State Route 238, I-238/I-580 to SR 185

 

APM: 14

Location: Foothill Blvd and I-238, Castro Valley, Alameda Cty

As SR 238 begins, stay straight to head into Hayward. State maintenance ends as soon as we enter the Hayward city limits.

APM: N/A

Location: Foothill Blvd and Apple Ave, Hayward

State maintenance ends as we enter Hayward.

APM: N/A

Location: Foothill Blvd and A St, Hayward

SR 238’s intersection with SRs 92 and 185 is weird through here, encompassing several blocks. Anyway, turn right here onto A St to head towards I-880 and SR 92. SR 238 traffic turns right as well.

APM: N/A

Location: Foothill Blvd and A St, Hayward

Traffic is forced to turn onto A St to connect to SRs 92 and 185.

APM: N/A

Location: A St and Mission Blvd, Hayward

As we approach Mission Blvd, we’ll come to a junction with SR 185. Turn right for SR 185 north. Turn left for SR 238 east. Turning left may also be SR 185 south – it is legislatively defined as ending at SR 92 but this portion was relinquished to the city of Hayward with the requirement to maintain signs wdirecting motorists to the continuation of Route 185 or to the state highway system, as applicable. That last “or to the state highway system, as applicable” is unique and tells me that it may not actually be statutorily necessary for 185 south to continue here, so SR 185 may end here since there is no further 185 signage. It could go either way though, and as I’ve also clinched 238 over that segment I’ve clinched the route either way.
