'''State Route 265''' ('''SR 265''') is a state highway in the U.S. state of California that is part of both '''Business Loop 5''' and '''Weed Boulevard''' in the City of Weed in Siskiyou County. SR 265 runs from U.S. Route 97 to Interstate 5.
==Route description== left|thumb|SR 265 shield The route spurs out of U.S. Route 97 in Weed while carrying '''Business Loop 5''' from that intersection to Interstate 5. It was once part of U.S. Route 99. For many years the route was hidden, but was signed in 2005 in anticipation of a complete redesign - reconstruction of Weed Boulevard.{{Citation needed|date=March 2008}} Previously, the only visual proof of the route was the bridge ID that was spraypainted on the base of the Interstate 5 overpass, i.e. "265 overcrossing".
