Highway system
Interstate Highway System Main Auxiliary Suffixed Business Future

Interstate 15 Business may refer to several business routes of the Interstate Highway System that connect Interstate 15 with the central business district of various cities bypassed by I-15. The business route in each community is considered a unique route. In many cases, these routes are a former section of a U.S. Route or state highway.

Interstate business routes in California are assigned by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), but are not maintained by Caltrans unless they overlay other routes of the state highway system. Local authorities may request route assignment from the Caltrans Transportation System Information Program, and all requests require approval of the executive committee of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO).[1]
