California Street is a major north-south thoroughfare in Huntsville, Alabama,[1] connecting historic Five Points to south Huntsville.

On average, approximately 18,500 vehicles travel the 1.8 mile stretch of road a day.

[2] From the south, California Street branches off of Whitesburg Drive, headed north, immediately intersecting Bob Wallace Avenue.

The five lane highway travels through a densely populated residential neighborhood to meet Governors Drive (US-431) where it becomes the eastern boundary of the Huntsville Hospital medical district.

The road narrows to four lanes as it zig zags through another densely populated residential neighborhood after passing Maple Hill Cemetery.
