with State Route 210 (former SR 30) in the U.S. state

. The short freeway has one complete exit (Highland Avenue) and one partial exit (E Street, northbound only), and was previously unsigned for many years. Presently, two shields appear (one in each direction) near the Highland Ave exit as of July 2007. As of January 29, 2008, the northbound sign is no longer in place.

SR 259 then turns east and has a partial interchange with E Street before merging with SR 210. SR 259 thus provides a route for traffic to move between I-215 northbound and SR 210 eastbound as well as from SR 210 westbound to I-215 southbound; the interchange between SR 210 and I-215 does not provide these movements.
