[edit] Route description

At its southern terminus, it begins in San Bernardino, California at State Route 210 (currently signed as the now defunct State Route 30). It is a freeway for approximately a mile, then turns into a conventional two-lane highway. It runs northeasterly from the San Bernardino Valley into the mountains to Running Springs, California, where it ends at State Route 18. The entire routing is in San Bernardino County.

This road consists of approximately 15 miles (24 km) of 6 percent grade road, and is one of three roads from the San Bernardino City area to the resorts of the San Bernardino National Forest. It alternates between long straight stretches and curved sections. There are three passing lanes, at the 2200 foot (670 m) level, the 4000 foot (1200 m) level, and the 5600 foot (1700 m) level.

[edit] History

This highway was originally a part of Legislative Route 207, defined in 1937. It was signed as State Route 30 until 1972, when State Route 30 was redefined to continue south along former State Route 106 rather than continue northeasterly along 330.[4]

Route 330 is one of only two state routes in California which is numbered based on a parent route (the other being State Route 371), excluding current and future Interstate highways. This relationship will be lost once the remaining portions of State Route 30 are signed as Route 210.

[edit] Major junctions

Note: Except where prefixed with a letter, postmiles were measured in 1964, based on the alignment of Route 30 as it existed at that time, and do not necessarily reflect current mileage.

The entire route is in San Bernardino County.
