San Fernando Road is a major street in the City of Los Angeles and Los Angeles County. Within the Burbank city limits it is signed as San Fernando Boulevard, and north of Newhall Pass it is signed as The Old Road. It is also designated as Business Loop 5 of Interstate 5.
San Fernando Road starts off in Castaic as The Old Road, passing through Santa Clarita, where it is a major frontage road for Interstate 5. The name is considered amusing by local residents, who have styled some traffic signs along the road using a faux Old English typeface. The Old Road reaches as far as Newhall Pass, whereupon its intersection with Sierra Highway near the junction of the Golden State Freeway (I-5) and the Antelope Valley Freeway (SR 14), it becomes San Fernando Road San Fernando Road then enters the Northwestern/Western San Fernando Valley, and passes through the Sylmar district of Los Angeles, and the City of San Fernando. It re-enters the city of Los Angeles at the intersection with the Ronald Reagan Freeway (SR 118) in the Pacoima district, where it parallels Interstate 5. Like Laurel Canyon Boulevard to the west in Sun Valley, it passes through rock quarries and the Hanson Dam Recreation Area, one of the last remaining open spaces in the San Fernando Valley.
