SR-60 Pomona Freeway Near Ontario

SR-60 — Pomona Freeway

State Route 60 in the Inland Empire

State Route 60 (the Pomona Freeway) runs east-west south of Ontario through Chino, Pomona, and eventually connects to I-10 further east and the greater LA basin to the west. In the Ontario area, SR-60 serves as an alternative to I-10 for east-west travel and is heavily used by commuters, commercial trucks serving the Chino industrial corridor, and residents of south Ontario and north Chino.

The SR-60/I-15 interchange south of Ontario is a key junction — drivers heading south on I-15 and transitioning to SR-60 westbound must navigate a complex interchange with limited merge distance.

Dangerous SR-60 Zones Near Ontario

SR-60 / I-15 Interchange — Complex merge from I-15 southbound to SR-60 westbound; high accident frequency
SR-60 at Milliken Avenue — Heavy warehouse and logistics traffic from south Ontario industrial parks
SR-60 at Haven Avenue — High-volume on/off ramp activity; merge conflicts

SR-60 Ontario Accident Causes

Truck Traffic

Chino Industrial Zone

The SR-60 corridor serves Chino's extensive industrial and dairy-related commercial operations. Large commercial vehicles regularly enter and exit SR-60 in this area, creating dangerous merging situations for passenger vehicles.

Commuter Route

LA-to-IE Commuter Volume

SR-60 is a primary commute route for Inland Empire residents working in the LA basin. Peak-hour gridlock creates rear-end accident risk, and frustrated drivers making aggressive maneuvers at the end of long commutes increase collision frequency.

Interchange

SR-60/I-15 Complexity

The merge zone where I-15 connects to SR-60 requires complex lane changes in a short distance. Drivers unfamiliar with the interchange geometry — particularly those using GPS for the first time — frequently cause accidents at this junction.

Fog

Low Visibility in Valley

The Chino/Ontario valley is prone to thick tule fog in winter months. SR-60's relatively flat alignment through agricultural land makes it particularly susceptible to rapid visibility reductions — contributing to chain-reaction pileups in winter months.
