State Route 261 is a tollway that is part of the Eastern Transportation Corridor system. It connects State Route 241 with Interstate 5. However, Route 261 does not directly connect with I-5; surface streets must be used to make the connection; continuing south on Route 261 leads directly into a high-speed controlled-access portion of Jamboree Road.

This route is part of the California Freeway and Expressway System^[1].

Major cities Bolded cities are officially-designated control cities for signs
