Line 6:
 
For most of its length from roughly [[San Luis Obispo, California|San Luis Obispo]] northward Highway 1 is a winding, two lane road, except between Monterey and Santa Cruz, where it is a multi-lane freeway, between [[Colma, California|Colma]] and [[Daly City, California|Daly City]], where it is co-signed with [[Interstate 280]] and again a multi-lane freeway, and in San Francisco, where it is 6 lane wide 19th Avenue and Park Presidio Boulevard, a major approach to the Golden Gate Bridge. [[State park]]s and small coastal towns can be found amongst hundreds of miles of wilderness. Along the southern length, P.C.H. is a wide, multi-laned boulevard and is even part of a freeway as it is co-signed with U.S. Highway 101 in the Ventura/Oxnard area.
 
Several miles south of [[Carmel, California|Carmel]], Highway 1 crosses the scenic [[Bixby Bridge]], a 900-foot stone arch that passes over the Bixby Creek gorge.
 
State Route 1 is often erroneously referred to as [[United_States_Highway_1|US Highway 1]], but US Highway 1 follows the [[East Coast]] of the [[United States]]. US 101 runs north from downtown [[Los Angeles, California|Los Angeles]] to the [[Washington]]/[[British Columbia]] line, typically several miles inland from State Highway 1 and the Pacific Ocean.
