{{Use American English|date=May 2025}} '''Templin Highway''' is the completed part of a two-lane road project in Los Angeles County, California. The road connects Interstate 5 and the old Golden State Highway with the north end of Castaic Lake. The name is commonly misapplied to the old Golden State Highway, which runs north into Piru Gorge.
==Proposal== Originally named '''Warm Springs Road''', it was renamed in 1967 after county highway commissioner Newton H. Templin, who had promoted the road's construction.<ref>Valley News (Van Nuys), October 20, 1967</ref> Until plans were canceled in 1980, the road was to continue east; a 1958 plan shows it extending to San Francisquito Canyon Road as an expressway,<ref name=plan-1958>Metropolitan Transportation Engineering Board, [https://cahighways.org/maps/1956-la-mteb2.pdf Master Plan of Freeways and Expressways], adopted February 28, 1958</ref> and by 1975 it was to connect with Spunky Canyon Road near the Bouquet Reservoir.<ref>Harrison Irving Scott, Ridge Route: The Road That United California, p. 112 (third printing, 2003, {{ISBN|0-615-12000-8}})</ref>
==Use in media== For the filming of "Mr. Monk Gets Stuck in Traffic", an episode of the TV series ''Monk'', the crew turned Templin Highway into a freeway by constructing a median barrier out of cinder blocks.<ref>Terry J. Erdmann, Paula M. Block, Monk: The Official Episode Guide, 2006, p. 142</ref>
The highway also appears in the movie ''Serenity'' (2005) as the setting for the skiff chase scene.
The highway also appears in ''Fast & Furious'' (2009) as the setting for the opening scene, and then again in ''Furious 7'' (2015) as the setting for the final scene.
