State Route 34 (SR 34) is a short state highway in the U.S. state of California.
SR 34 is part of the California Freeway and Expressway System.
It starts on the west at the intersection of Oxnard Boulevard (Route 1) and Fifth Street in Oxnard. It continues east then northeast on Fifth Street until it intersects Pleasant Valley Road in Camarillo. After continuing east on Pleasant Valley Road a short distance, it turns north onto Lewis Road until the intersection with Las Posas Road at the north city limit of Camarillo where Route 34 continues straight ahead as Somis Road. It ends at Route 118 near Somis. This route originally began in Port Hueneme, but in 1965, the portion from Port Hueneme to Route 1 was deleted. Nevertheless, Route 34 mileposts add on these additional 4 miles (6.4 km) along the signed route.
The route parallels the Southern Pacific Coast Line, which carries Coast Starlight, Pacific Surfliner and Metrolink Ventura County Line passenger trains, for almost its entire current length.
In 1933, a road from Huneme to near Somis, going through Oxnard and Camarillo, was added to the state highway system. This road was numbered as Route 153 in 1935. In the 1964 state highway renumbering, SR 34 was defined with this routing, ending at SR 118 on the eastern side. In 1965, the highway from Port Huneme to SR 1 was removed from the state highway system. The part of the highway in Oxnard was authorized by the state legislature to be turned over to the city of Oxnard in 2008.
