Route description
Artesia Boulevard begins at the intersection with Pacific Coast Highway. West of this point, Artesia Boulevard becomes Gould Avenue and later 27th Street. The South Bay Galleria is located at the intersection with Hawthorne Boulevard. The westernmost segment of Artesia Boulevard passes through the cities of Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, Lawndale, Torrance, Gardena and Los Angeles. Artesia Boulevard breaks off briefly at Avalon Boulevard, and much of this portion of Artesia Boulevard parallels SR 91. After reuniting, the easternmost segment of Artesia Boulevard passes through Carson, Compton, Long Beach, Bellflower, Cerritos, and La Mirada. Artesia Boulevard then crosses the county line upon entering Buena Park and also enters the city Fullerton as Artesia Avenue.
Artesia Avenue terminates at Gilbert Street in Fullerton near the Fullerton Airport.
