I-215, Ramona Expressway and the New Placentia Interchange

Interstate 215 runs through the city, and State Route 74 connects Perris with Lake Elsinore to the west and the San Jacinto Valley to the east.

• Placentia Avenue interchange. RCTC opened new I-215 ramps at Placentia Avenue on December 13, 2022. They give drivers another way on and off the freeway between the Ramona Expressway ramps to the north and the Nuevo Road ramps to the south. The project widened the Placentia bridge between Harvill Avenue and Indian Road and added sidewalks, bike lanes and a barrier-separated equestrian path.
• Ramona Expressway. The interchange is the first piece of the Mid County Parkway, a planned 16-mile corridor between Perris and San Jacinto. The next segment covers 8.6 miles of Ramona Expressway east of Perris, from Warren Road to about a mile east of Rider Street. RCTC describes it as addressing high-priority safety needs on a road “with a history of vehicle collisions.” Check RCTC’s project page for the current construction schedule.

If you were hit near a work zone or a new ramp, photograph the signs, cones and lane striping before they change.

Lake Perris, Skydiving and Weekend Traffic

Perris draws visitors. Lake Perris State Recreation Area, between Perris and Moreno Valley, has a 9-mile paved loop road shared by drivers, runners and cyclists. The privately owned Perris Valley Airport has made the city known for skydiving. The Southern California Railway Museum and the Southern California Fair at the Lake Perris Fairgrounds also bring crowds. On busy weekends, expect more drivers who don’t know the roads, and more people walking and biking.
