I-5 Anaheim/Orange: Exit 107A/B

Exit 107A/B is a primary gateway into the heart of Orange County, serving the major commercial and entertainment hubs of Anaheim and the City of Orange. This area is intensely urbanized, hosting high-traffic venues like Angel Stadium and the Honda Center. For commercial drivers, this exit is strictly for local deliveries and professional logistics; it is not a location for transit stops or overnight rest.

Traffic Flow & Local Landmarks

The traffic at Exit 107A/B is dominated by two primary factors: the I-5/SR-57 interchange and the proximity to the Angel Stadium of Anaheim.

  • Congestion Patterns: Expect severe, stop-and-go congestion during peak commuter hours. If an event is taking place at the stadium, local surface streets (such as Orangewood Ave or State College Blvd) will experience gridlock.
  • Navigation Tip: Stay in the center lanes through this section of the I-5. The interchange is a complex mixing bowl that requires quick but safe decision-making.

Bridge Clearance & Turning Radius

  • Bridge Clearance: While mainline freeways in California meet standard clearance (14’+), city streets surrounding the stadium district have variable overpass heights.
  • Official Resource: Always verify your route using the Caltrans Legal Truck Access Map before turning onto local roads.
  • Turning Radius: Many of the roads surrounding the stadium district were designed for passenger vehicles and event traffic. Expect narrow curb radii that make 53-foot trailer turns extremely tight.

Weigh Stations & Truck Services

  • Nearest Weigh Station: There are no mainline weigh stations on the I-5 within Orange County.
  • Service & Repair:
    Alberto’s Truck Repair
    Phone: 24/7 Mobile/Emergency Dispatch
    Services: Heavy-duty diesel engine repair, mobile DOT inspections, and roadside assistance.
  • CAT Scales: No certified CAT scales are present at this exit. Drivers should plan for weigh-ins at facilities in the outlying industrial regions (e.g., Riverside/San Bernardino area).

Food, Comfort & Driver Amenities

  • Dining: While there are numerous fast-casual options around Anaheim, there are no truck-accessible dining facilities with tractor-trailer parking. Do not attempt to pull a rig into shopping center parking lots.
  • Showers & Laundry: There are no facilities of this nature for professional drivers at this exit.
  • Wi-Fi & Driver Lounges: Not available at this location.

Ease of Re-entry Score: 2/10

Re-entry is exceptionally difficult due to the mixing bowl nature of the local highway interchanges and the heavy congestion of the Anaheim stadium district. If you accidentally exit, you may find yourself trapped in local surface traffic for a significant period. Only use this exit if you have a confirmed delivery/pickup appointment.

FAQs

Can I park on the wide shoulder near the stadium?

Absolutely not. Shoulder parking is strictly prohibited and heavily patrolled by both Anaheim Police and CHP. Fines are significant.

Where is the nearest truck-friendly fuel station?

There are none in the immediate vicinity of Exit 107. You are better served fueling at major truck stops further inland before heading into Orange County.

How do I handle oversized loads in the Anaheim area?

You must obtain specific city permits and follow designated Caltrans-approved truck routes. Never rely on standard GPS for oversized loads in this district.
