Hollywood Freeway Extension and Highland Avenue
Runs from State 2 at the junction of Highland Avenue and Santa Monica Boulevard to I-5 in Sun Valley with a break between US 101/Highland Avenue to US 101/SR-134/SR-170 interchange.

Route 170 is a fairly short route. Highland Avenue in the Hollywood area was signed as SR-170 in 2001. There is no end sign at the north or south end of the segment, but signs do finally exist. The north portion runs along the Hollywood Freeway from I-5 to US 101. Much of the freeway runs along a series of parks that were in place long before the freeway was completed in the mid 1960's. It is one of the few freeways in Los Angeles with carpool lanes running its entire length.

Northbound near Sherman Way. Bridge in background is the Whitsett UP (53-1674).
