Between its west terminus in Santa Monica, California, and the major [[East Los Angeles Interchange]], I-10 is known as the [[Santa Monica Freeway]]. The Santa Monica Freeway is also called the Rosa Parks Freeway, named after [[Rosa Parks|the civil rights activist]], for the segment beginning at [[Interstate 405 (California)|I-405]] (San Diego Freeway), and ending at [[Interstate 110 and State Route 110 (California)|I-110/SR&nbsp;110]] (Harbor Freeway). The segment between the East Los Angeles Interchange, in [[East Los Angeles, California|East Los Angeles]], and the city of [[San Bernardino, California|San Bernardino]], {{convert|63|mi|km}} long, is called the [[San Bernardino Freeway]]. 

Other names exist for I-10. For example, from 1976 to 2022, a sign near the western terminus of the highway in Santa Monica proclaimed the highway to be the [[Christopher Columbus]] Transcontinental Highway. The state legislature authorized its removal in 2022 after years of lobbying by Native Americans.<ref>{{cite news |title=Christopher Columbus' name to be removed from stretch of I-10 in LA |url=https://spectrumnews1.com/ca/la-west/politics/2022/09/01/christopher-columbus--name-to-be-removed-from-stretch-of-i-10-in-la |access-date=December 11, 2022 |work=Spectrum News 1 |publisher=[[Charter Communications]] |date=September 1, 2022}}</ref>
