State Route 67 (SR 67) is a state highway in San Diego County, California. It begins at Interstate 8 in El Cajon and continues to Lakeside as the San Vicente Freeway before becoming an undivided highway through the eastern part of Poway. The route ends in Ramona at SR 78 west of Julian. SR 67 provides direct access from the city of San Diego to the East County region of San Diego County. Julian was accessible from San Diego by stagecoach in 1872, and by railroad (to Foster) and stagecoach in 1896. A highway known as the Julian road was built by 1913, and was designated as Legislative Route 198 in the state highway system by 1935. This route was renumbered SR 67 in the 1964 state highway renumbering. A freeway south of Lakeside was built in the late 1960s and opened to traffic in 1970. Since then, the undivided portion of the highway north of Lakeside has become known for a high number of traffic accidents and fatalities. The California Department of Transportation has made several attempts to make the road safer. (Full article...)
