Templin Highway

Originally named Warm Springs Road, it was renamed in 1967 after county highway commissioner Newton H. Templin, who had promoted the road's construction.^[1] Until plans were canceled in 1980, the road was to continue east; a 1958 plan shows it extending to San Francisquito Canyon Road as an expressway,^[2] and by 1975 it was to connect with Spunky Canyon Road near the Bouquet Reservoir.^[3]

For the filming of "Mr. Monk Gets Stuck in Traffic", an episode of the TV series Monk, the crew turned Templin Highway into a freeway by constructing a median barrier out of cinder blocks.^[4]

The highway also appears in the movie Serenity (2005) as the setting for the skiff chase scene.

The highway also appears in Fast & Furious (2009) as the setting for the opening scene, and then again in Furious 7 (2015) as the setting for the final scene.
