History
At the 1932 Summer Olympics near Los Angeles, it hosted part of the road cycling event when it was Vineyard Avenue.[7] Route 154 was defined in 1933 from El Rio to Saticoy;[8] the route was renumbered as SR 232 in the 1964 state highway renumbering.[9] By 2014, the route was redefined to start at US 101, eliminating the section between US 101 and former SR 1 along Oxnard Boulevard in Oxnard that had been relinquished.[10]
Major intersections
Except where prefixed with a letter, postmiles were measured on the road as it was in 1964, based on the alignment that existed at the time, and do not necessarily reflect current mileage. R reflects a realignment in the route since then, M indicates a second realignment, L refers to an overlap due to a correction or change, and T indicates postmiles classified as temporary ().[1] Segments that remain unconstructed or have been relinquished to local control may be omitted. The entire route is in Ventura County.
