San Diego
County Sign Route S6

[Click here for a key to the symbols used. Some county routes were constructed with federal funds. These routes are indicated as FAP (Federal Aid Primary), FAU (Federal Aid Urban), or FAS (Federal Aid Secondary). If no funding source is shown, no federal funds were used. Note that while some segments seem to have the same attributes, they may differ in the county-local road number assigned to the segment, or in the Caltrans Map Sheet number.]

10. Valley Parkway in Escondido from Del Dios Highway to the start of the Valley Parkway/Grand Ave couplet Crescent Road (FAU, 1.39 mi)

    Note: It appears that before the city of Escondido made Valley Parkway one-way in downtown Escondido, Crescent Road ran from its current split-point off Grand to 2nd up to Valley Parkway, permitting a traditional Valley Parkway to Crescent to Grand routing. That was since reconfigured to have Valley Parkway be one way SB/WB, Grand Ave bidirectional in the center, and 2nd one-way NB/EB. The definition has S6 along Grand; Google shows S6 along Valley, and there is no designation on 2nd.

11. Valley Parkway/Grand Avenue couplet split Crescent Road in Escondido from Valley Parkway to Grand Avenue (FAU, 0.22 mi)

12. Grand Avenue in Escondido from the Valley Parkway split Crescent Road to Valley Blvd (FAU, 0.98 mi).

    Note: Valley Parkway parallel to this may also be part of County Sign Route S6 as a couplet.
