Where the Freeways Meet

• Interstate 10 and State Route 60 merge in Beaumont. Drivers coming from Moreno Valley on SR-60 join I-10 traffic coming through Calimesa, all heading east into the pass.
• State Route 79 (Beaumont Avenue) heads south from I-10 toward Hemet and San Jacinto. The pass summit, about 2,600 feet, is just east of the I-10/SR-79 junction.
• Highland Springs Avenue marks the line with Banning and carries traffic to new housing tracts.
• 6th Street is an old section of US 99 through downtown.

New subdivisions, school traffic and trucks headed for the desert all meet here. Our I-10 San Gorgonio Pass guide covers the freeway east of town.

Court and Deadlines

Busy Roads Around Beaumont

Busy roads in Beaumont include I-10, SR-60, Beaumont Avenue (SR-79), Oak Valley Parkway and Highland Springs Avenue. SR-60 joins I-10 with merging traffic; the pass can have gusty wind and heavy trucks; Beaumont Avenue and Oak Valley Parkway have busy left-turn signals. If your crash happened on one of these roads, write down the nearest cross street or exit, and keep any dashcam or doorbell video before it is recorded over. Our I-10 San Gorgonio Pass guide covers that corridor in more detail.

After a Multi-Vehicle Crash Where SR-60 Joins I-10

The I-10/SR-60 merge in Beaumont is where traffic from Moreno Valley joins the pass. When several vehicles are involved, fault and insurance are often split among more than one driver:

• Pure comparative fault: each driver can be assigned a share. You can usually still recover, minus your share.
• More than one policy: each at-fault driver’s liability policy may contribute, and we look for commercial coverage if a truck was involved.
• Your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage may help if one driver had little or no insurance, or left the scene. For a hit-and-run, report it to the CHP within 24 hours to protect that claim.
• The report: the CHP San Gorgonio Pass Area office, which is based in Beaumont, usually writes the freeway report.
