Interstate 15 (abbreviated I-15) is the fourth longest north-south transcontinental interstate highway in the United States, traveling through the states of Montana, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, and California. In California, this freeway is a major transportation corridor linking the San Diego-Carlsbad-San Marcos Metropolitan area with the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario Metropolitan area, and various suburban communities between them. It is also the main artery of transportation through the Salt Lake City Metropolitan area. It also serves as the primary access route from Southern California to Las Vegas, Nevada, a major travel/tourist destination throughout the year. More recently, I-15 has begun to serve as a heavily traveled commuter route between the Mojave Desert communities of Victorville, Hesperia, Apple Valley, and Adelanto in California, due to rapid population growth and associated residential, commercial, and industrial development.

Interestingly, the starting point of Interstate 15 was originally planned to be in San Bernardino at an interchange with the San Bernardino Freeway, Interstate 10 (I-10). This was logical as I-15 was following the old alignment of the historic route U.S. Route 66 which passed through San Bernardino. The segment was completed accordingly. However, legislation was later passed to extend the interstate to San Diego. But instead of extending the existing freeway from the I-10 interchange south, the California Department of Transportation created a new segment in Devore that 'branched' off of the original alignment and bypassed San Bernardino altogether. This segment's alignment is generally northeast to southwest for about 15 miles (24 km). Then, in Fontana/Rancho Cucamonga, California, its directional alignment shifts to north-south where it eventually junctions with Interstate 10 (about 15 miles west of the original interchange in San Bernardino). The segment that had been built from Devore to San Bernardino was retained as an interstate, but was re-numbered as Interstate 215.
