Notes

It exists because a short section of California State Highway 238 got Interstate funding and California had exhausted its list of I-x80 interstates. (Today, I-480 is available because that freeway was torn down as a result of the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake.) There is no Interstate 38, and if it did exist, it wouldn't go anywhere near Oakland, California.
