State Route 42 (SR 42) was a state highway in southern region of the U.S. state of California, running along Manchester Avenue, Manchester Boulevard and Firestone Boulevard in Los Angeles and the cities south of it. After 1968, it ran from State Route 1 west of Inglewood (near Los Angeles International Airport) east to Interstate 5 in Norwalk. Though signed as SR 42, it was officially Route 105 until replaced by the parallel Interstate 105 October 14, 1993. From then until the last piece was turned over to local maintenance in 2000, it was an unrelinquished piece of Route 105, and continued to be signed as SR 42.
Manchester Avenue begins in Los Angeles near the Pacific Ocean at Vista del Mar Lane, and becomes a major road at Pershing Drive. The part west of Lincoln Boulevard (State Route 1) was never a numbered route. East of Sepulveda Boulevard, Manchester Avenue crosses into Inglewood, where it is known as Manchester Boulevard. It jogs about two blocks to the north just west of Interstate 405, and back to the south after passing downtown Inglewood. Upon crossing back into Los Angeles, it is again Manchester Avenue.
