Interstate 215 marker

Interstate 215 (I-215) is a 54.5-mile (87.7 km) long north–south Interstate highway in the Inland Empire region of Southern California. It is an auxiliary route of Interstate 15 (I-15), running from Murrieta to northern San Bernardino. While I-215 connects the city centers of both Riverside and San Bernardino, its parent I-15 runs to the west through Corona and Ontario.

Part of I-215 was once signed as Interstate 15E (I-15E), but this was changed in 1974 as almost all of the Interstates around the country with directional suffixes were eventually renumbered or eliminated, except for and in Texas and Minnesota.

I-215 is part of the California Freeway and Expressway System and is eligible for the State Scenic Highway System.

The southern terminus of Interstate 215 is at the junction of Interstate 15 in the city of Murrieta just north of Temecula in southwestern Riverside County. It then runs north through Menifee and Perris before joining State Route 60 in Moreno Valley.
