State Route 265 (SR 265) is astate highway in theU.S. state ofCalifornia that is part of bothBusiness Loop 5 andWeed Boulevard in theCity of Weed inSiskiyou County. SR 265 runs fromU.S. Route 97 toInterstate 5.
The routespurs out ofU.S. Route 97 inWeed while carryingBusiness Loop 5 from that intersection toInterstate 5. It was once part ofU.S. Route 99. For many years the route was hidden, but was signed in 2005 in anticipation of a complete redesign - reconstruction of Weed Boulevard.[citation needed] Previously, the only visual proof of the route was the bridge ID that was spraypainted on the base of theInterstate 5 overpass, i.e. "265 overcrossing".
SR 265 is not part of theNational Highway System,[2] a network of highways that are considered essential to the country's economy, defense, and mobility by theFederal Highway Administration.[3]

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 (for a full list of prefixes, seeCalifornia postmile § Official postmile definitions).[1] Segments that remain unconstructed or have been relinquished to local control may be omitted.
