S1
County Route S1 (CR S1), also known as Sunrise Highway for a portion of its length, is a long county highway located entirely in San Diego County, California, United States. It begins at State Route 94 (SR 94) near Barrett and moves northward across Interstate 8 (I-8), just west of the Laguna Summit. This segment is also known as Buckman Springs Road. North of I-8, it is the Sunrise Scenic Byway, a National Forest Scenic Byway. ;Route description The route begins at SR 94 near Barrett not far from the Mexican border. From there, it heads northward along Buckman Springs Road. Soon afterwards, it enters the Cleveland National Forest. When the road reaches Interstate 8, while Buckman Springs Road continues northeastward across the freeway, CR S1 continues in a northwest direction along Old Highway 80, the original alignment of U.S. Route 80 in California. It then closely parallels I-8 for several miles. Upon crossing the freeway at Laguna Junction, CR S1 separates from Old Highway 80 and becomes Sunrise Scenic Byway. From Interstate 8, it begins its ascent into the Laguna Mountains. The route here was built along a cliff overlooking Pine Valley to its west. Around here, the vegetation still consists of chaparral and sagebrush. As the route gains elevation through Cleveland National Forest, the route becomes more heavily forested. Around here, numerous campgrounds dot the side of the road. There is a picnic area overlooking Anza-Borrego Desert State Park near the Burnt Rancheria Campground, which is often said to deeply contrast the forest scenery along the route. The northern segment of the route was also established as a Scenic Byway in 1959. ;Major intersections ;Gallery Sandiegos1photoa.jpg|Bridge over Cottonwood Creek Sandiegocountys1photob.jpg|Buckman Springs Road and Old Highway 80 Sandiegocountys1photoc.jpg|Bridge over I-8 Sandiegocountys1photod.jpg|CR S1 near Al Bahr Shrine Camp Sandiegocountys1photoe.jpg|California Riding and Hiking Trail Sandiegocountys1photof.jpg|Junction with SR 79 ==S2==

As it descends southeast toward the desert floor it becomes San Felipe Road until it crosses State Route 78 at Scissors Crossing in Shelter Valley (formerly called Earthquake Valley). South of SR 78, the name of the highway changes to the Great Southern Overland Stage Route of 1849. It passes through Blair Valley, Canebrake Canyon, Vallecito, and Agua Caliente. Further south, it forks at a remote junction with the historic dirt road to become to Sweeney Pass Road. Sweeney Pass is located between the Volcanic Hills and the Coyote Mountains. East of the San Diego/Imperial County Line of this segment is also called Imperial Highway. The highway runs south through an interchange with Interstate 8 then ends at a junction with State Route 98 near Ocotillo. ;Gallery Highways2signs.jpg|Street signs on CR S2 Sanfeliperoad1.jpg|San Felipe Road north of Scissors Crossing Anza Borrego Agua Caliente.jpg|Agua Caliente Springs, desert landscape and CR S2 going south, in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park.

S7
County Route S7 (CR S7) is a county highway in San Diego County, California, United States, that provides access to Palomar Mountain. ;Route description CR S7's western terminus is at State Route 76 east of Pauma Valley, California. It begins as a dirt road known as the Nate Harrison Grade. Then it returns to pavement as it ascends Palomar Mountain and meets San Diego County Route S6. It enters Palomar Mountain State Park. Then, it descends to end at SR 76 near Lake Henshaw. Nate Harrison Grade is not signed as County Route S7, but it is a logical westward extension of the signed portion. With a 10% grade, it was the only road to the top of Palomar Mountain until the 1940s, when East Grade Road ("Highway to the Stars") was built for the construction of the Palomar Observatory. The road was formerly known as "Nigger Nate Road", named after Nate Harrison, an early African-American homesteader. The name was changed in 1956 at the request of the NAACP. On a small turnout is a monument to Gregory Pacheco and a good view to the north. According to a plaque at the monument, pictured below, Gregory Pacheco was a firefighter who died in the La Jolla Fire in 1999. The descent on the eastern side of Palomar Mountain offers panoramic views of Lake Henshaw.

S12
County Route S12 (CR S12), also known as Palomar Airport Road, San Marcos Boulevard, Twin Oaks Valley Road, and Deer Springs Road, is a county highway in San Diego County, California, United States. It runs through the North County region of San Diego County from Carlsbad Boulevard (County Route S21) in Carlsbad to Interstate 15 near Hidden Meadows. ;Route description CR S12's western terminus is at Carlsbad Boulevard (CR S21) in Carlsbad.

S13
County Route S13 (CR S13), also known as Vista Village Drive, East Vista Way, and Mission Road, is a county highway in San Diego County, California, United States, that runs through the North County region of San Diego County. It is distinctive for having a three-mile (5 km) discontinuity in Bonsall. ;Route description CR S13's southern terminus is at State Route 78 in Vista, where the street is known as Vista Village Drive.

Nearly three miles northeast on SR 76, CR S13 begins again, continuing northward, but as South Mission Road. Mission Road cuts north through Bonsall and passes the neighborhoods of San Luis Rey Heights and Winterwarm before entering Fallbrook. In Fallbrook, South Mission Road splits off into South Main Avenue, which carries the S13 signage. These two streets run parallel to each other for several blocks; East Fallbrook Road (SR S15) begins at Mission and intersects Main. After a short distance, Mission turns east, intersecting Main; Mission then continues as S13. CR S13 continues eastward, ending at an interchange with Interstate 15. Almost all of S13, except for later realigned portions, is an old alignment of U.S. Route 395, and Historic Route signs are posted in unincorporated areas. The route was established in 1968. ;Major intersections ==S14==
S14
County Route S14 (CR S14), also known as Santa Fe Avenue, Mission Road, and Mission Avenue, is a county highway in San Diego County, California, United States, that runs through the North County region of San Diego County. It runs from State Route 76 in Oceanside to Centre City Parkway in Escondido. ;Route description CR S14's western terminus is at State Route 76 in Oceanside, where it is known as North Santa Fe Avenue. It travels into Vista, becoming South Santa Fe Avenue before intersecting with County Route S13, or Vista Village Drive, in downtown Vista. At this point it begins to run parallel to State Route 78, which it does until its terminus. Santa Fe travels into western San Marcos, where it intersects with County Route S10 (Rancho Santa Fe Road); it is at this intersection that Santa Fe becomes Mission Road. Mission continues through San Marcos, passing under Twin Oaks Valley Road (County Route S12) without an intersection. In eastern San Marcos, Mission Road crosses State Route 78 without an interchange and becomes Mission Avenue. Shortly afterward, it enters Escondido, where it crosses Interstate 15, again with no interchange. Shortly after this point, the freeway portion of SR 78 ends and that route turns right onto Broadway, but CR S14's eastern terminus is at Centre City Parkway, a few blocks short from Broadway. CR S14 east of CR S13, except for later realigned portions, is an old alignment of U.S. Route 395, and Historic Route signs are posted in unincorporated areas. The route was established in 1968. ;Major intersections ==S15==

It runs from its south end at State Route 76 on the Pala Indian Reservation to its north end at State Route 79 (Temecula Parkway) in Temecula. ;Route description The route's southern terminus is at SR 76 on the Pala Indian Reservation, in the San Luis Rey River Valley, near the community of Pala. It twists through a short but rugged and steep mountain range and continues northward as Pala-Temecula Road through rural San Diego County. When it crosses the Riverside County line and enters the Pechanga Indian Reservation, it becomes Pala Road. Shortly thereafter, County Route S16 widens to four lanes as it reaches the city limits of Temecula, where it becomes Pechanga Parkway. Near the Pechanga Resort & Casino, Pechanga Parkway becomes a six-lane arterial road and continues along several large suburban neighborhoods before ending at a T intersection with SR 79 (Temecula Parkway). The portion of County Route S16 known as Pechanga Parkway, as well as the portion of SR 79 known as Temecula Parkway, are unsigned because the City of Temecula maintains jurisdiction over both segments. The route was established in 1959. ;Major intersections ==S17==

The route then shares the same alignment as State Route 54, from State Route 125 northeast to the El Cajon city limit, running along Jamacha Boulevard, Campo Road, and Jamacha Road. Within El Cajon, CR S17 shares the same alignment as the former State Route 54, continuing north to Interstate 8 along Jamacha Road and 2nd Street. The portions of County Route S17 within the cities of Chula Vista and El Cajon are no longer signed. The portions of the route within Bonita and Spring Valley are signed. However, all signs in Rancho San Diego (along Campo and Jamacha Roads) appear to have been removed except for the one heading east coming from the terminus of the freeway portion of State Route 94. In El Cajon city limits, the route is signed with Business Route 54. The route was established in 1964. ;Major intersections ==S18==
