San Bernardino County in Southern California is expanding its “County Route 66” sign program from Goffs to Needles, 
reported the Needles Desert Star newspaper.
The county began erecting the signs (shown left) last summer, and the program went from Oro Grande to Goffs.
Now the signs will mark historic Route 66 from Goffs to Needles and the Arizona-California state line.
Brad Mitzelfelt of the county’s board of supervisors said the signs make it easier to follow the route, and they help support tourism.
“Route 66 is an international landmark but it can be difficult to identify in many locations,” Mitzelfelt said. “The easier we make it for tourists, especially international tourists who love the American West and especially Route 66, the more opportunities we create for local businesses to enjoy increased traffic and increased revenue.” […]
The expansion of County Route 66 will run from Goffs Road south on U.S. 95, east on Interstate 40, easterly along Park Road, south on National Trails Highway, south and east on Needles Highway, south on Broadway, south on U.S. 95, southeasterly on National Old Trails Road, east on 5 Mile Road, and southeasterly on Interstate 40 to the California/Arizona State Line.
Up to $10,000 of the money for the signs will come from the county’s discretionary fund.
