What is the fastest route from 58 west coming into Bakersfield, CA to I5 north? I've taken 99/46 and was wondering about some of the roads closer to Bakersfield. I believe someone posted about 7th Sta...

If I understand your question correctly, you are traveling west on route 58 from Tehachapi and want to get on I 5 northbound?
The best route with least traffic is to stay on 58 to 99 and then north on 99 and exit onto 7th Standard (Merle Haggard) westbound to I-5.
7th Standard is four lane divided for about 6 miles then is a wide two lane road all the way to I-5. Little traffic, and that traffic moves well. A couple of traffic signals just after leaving 99, and then one stop sign. Otherwise an open drive. Using this route you will bypass all Bakersfield congestion. Try it and you will like it!
This. I've taken 58 west to I-5. The traffic is terrible.
The route I suggested is NOT 58 to I-5. Route 58 west of 99 is Rosedale Hwy, and traffic is HORRIBLE all the way to I-5.
The 7th Standard route I suggested parallels Hwy 58 (Rosedale Hwy) about five miles north.
I would NEVER suggest you travel Hwy 58 west of Hwy 99 because of the congestion and horrible traffic almost any time of the day!
