State-of-the-art interstate roads and freeways are the main access to San Diego if one is traveling by land from the neighboring city of Los Angeles in the state of California, Tucson and Phoenix in the state of Arizona and Las Vegas in the state of Nevada. Another passage by land from Arizona is the route passing by Lake Havasu City. From Mexico, the road from Santa Ana to Mexicali or Yuma is the biggest roads linking San Diego and the city that shaped its Hispanic past.
