History
editAt the 1932 Summer Olympics near Los Angeles, it hosted part of the road cycling event when it was Vineyard Avenue.[6] Route 154 was defined in 1933 from El Rio to Saticoy;[7] the route was renumbered as SR 232 in the 1964 state highway renumbering.[8] By 2014, the route was redefined to start at US 101, eliminating the part in Oxnard that had been relinquished.[9]
Major intersections
editExcept where prefixed with a letter, postmiles were measured on the road as it was in 1964, based on the alignment that existed at the time, and do not necessarily reflect current mileage. R reflects a realignment in the route since then, M indicates a second realignment, L refers to an overlap due to a correction or change, and T indicates postmiles classified as temporary ().[1] Segments that remain unconstructed or have been relinquished to local control may be omitted. The entire route is in Ventura County.
