Welcome to Simi Valley and its scenic surroundings including nearby Moorpark, Thousand Oaks, and Chatsworth where rolling hills, historic passes, and freeways converge. When your drive hits a snag on SR‑118, Santa Susana Pass, or local rural roads, Road Rescue Network is your trusted local rescue partner.
Roads
Simi Valley is served by State Route 118 (Ronald Reagan Freeway) a major east‑west corridor through the valley and Old Santa Susana Stage Road, a historic rural route through the pass. The Arroyo Simi Overhead, carrying 118 over local terrain near Moorpark, is a critical bridge that helps ease LA Avenue congestion. Expect typical commute bottlenecks around the 118‑23 interchange and along Los Angeles Avenue during rush hour.
Hazards
Even on sunny days, smoke from regional fires can reduce visibility along open stretches of 118 and rural roads . Steep grades and tight curves on Santa Susana Pass require cautious driving, especially at sunrise or sunset when glare can be intense.

- Chevron – 1196 E Los Angeles Ave – often among the lowest prices
- Shell – 2405 Sycamore Dr – open 24 hours, well‑rated
