In 1915, the state authorized an addition 15,000,000ドル bond act, which was
approved by the voters in 1916. This second bond act authorized 702
additional miles of highway, and provided explicit definitions for the
routes in the first bond act. The final payment on the 1915 bonds was made
in July 1963, with 16,172,213ドル having been paid in interest service.*
(*: Source: CHPW Jul/Aug 1965)
1915 also saw the passage of the "Convict Labor Law", which permitted the Department of Engineering to use prison labor for the construction of state highways.
It was also around this time that routes began to be defined by route numbers -- but these are not the numbers you see on the signs. They were numbers used to reference the routes in the legislative definitions, and were not signed in the field (except perhaps on a construction funding sign). These page (and most "roadgeeks") refer to these numbers as LRN (Legislative Route Numbers), so as to distinguish them from the signed routes in the field posted by the Auto Club starting in 1926, which use the term Route, SSR (State Signed Route), or CA (to indicate California state route). These numbers appear to have been maintained by the California Highway Commission or Department of Engineering — they were not listed (to my knowledge) in the legislation until 1935.
The routes in this act were defined in the 1915 statutes, Chapter 404.

In 1916, the voters passed the 1915 bond act.
More significantly, in 1916, Congress passed the Bankhead Act, which created the Federal Aid Program. Under this program, federal funds were provided for roads that would improve rural mail delivery ("post roads"). This program required the state to come up with one half of the costs of the road. California received 151,063ドル.92 in Federal Aid funds for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1917.
The following routes were defined in the 1917 statutes (PDF, 110 MB):

The 1917 statutes also contained a chapter (Chapter 746) that extended additional funding to pay the cost of making surveys and preparing plans and estimates for highways as follows: "An extension of the Trinity-Humboldt state road, from its W-ly end, in a W-ly direction to the town of Bridgeville in Humboldt County; a highway beginning at or near Oxnard in Ventura County, California and extending to a point near San Juan in Orange county, California; a highway from Jackson's Ranch near Pescadero in San Mateo county, California to Governor's Camp in the California Redwoods Park, Santa Cruz county, California; a highway beginning at Carmel in Montery County, California and running thence in a S-ly direction to San Simeon in San Luis Obispo county, California; and a lateral highway from a point most feasible theron to a point at or near Jolon in said Monterey County; a birdge to span San Francisco Bay at or near Dumbarton Point; and a highway from the western boundary line of Kern County, California to the state highway near the city of Santa Maria, Santa Barbara County, California." These roads were all later created or were part of the system at the time. A number of these were later funded by the 1919 bond act.
By 1918, several important highway projects had been completed, including the Ridge Route, the Yolo Causeway, the Kings River Canyon, Alturas-Cedarville, Emigrant Gap, and the Imperial County Plank Road.

In 1919, the state legislature amends the Motor Vehicle Act of 1913 by requiring that the county supervisors submit an annual report detailing the expenditures of road funds derived from the state Motor Vehicle Fund. This helped to ensure that these funds were expended in accordance with the original intent of the funds.
More significantly, in the special election of July 1, 1919, the voters approved a third highway bond issue for 40,000,000ドル. This act authorized creation or extension of 1,853 mi of highways. This act extended the funds for the completion of the highways contemplated under the two preceding acts by the addition of 20,000,000ドル to the highway funds for this purpose, and an additional 20,000,000ドル for the construction of some additional routes. On July 2, 1965, this bond issue was paid off, The total interest payments on these bonds was 44,950,077ドル.

In its 1919-1920 Biennial Report, the State Highway Commission began to identify the problems with funding highway construction through bond acts. They recommended a tax on gasoline sales. This was not enacted until 1923.
In 1921, the California Legislature created the Department of Public Works, which included the State Highway Commission, the State Water Commission, and the newly created Division of Highways.

In 1923, the State Highway Commission was removed from the Department of Public Works (DPW), and made a separate state agency largely responsible for the highway matters previously handled by the DPW. In 1923, the Highway Commission also created three new "Divisions" ("Districts") with offices in Stockton, Bishop, and San Bernardino. This brought the total number of districts to ten.
1923 also saw a shift in how bridge construction was funded. Prior to 1923, the Highway Commission required that counties provide most of the right-of-way, designs, and construction funding needs for most new State Highways. There were a few exceptions, such as the small concrete girder bridge with pipe railings that crosses Shotgun Creek, built in 1915 and designed by State Highway engineers. In general, however the arrangement was unsatisfactory. As a result, in 1923, State Highway Engineer R.M. Morton directed that all State Highway bridges be designed, and their construction overseen, by state engineers. This resulted in the creation of the Bridge Department in the DPW.
Funding was also helped in 1923, when the California's legislature passed California's first gasoline tax. Revenue from the 0ドル.02/gallon tax was divided between the state and the counties for highway building and improvement. The idea for such a tax dates back to recommendations from the Auto Club back in 1921, and from the State Board of Equalization and the Highway Commission in 1922. The Motor Vehicle Act of 1923 strengthened the states's highway finances, and gave additional resources to counties. Note that the tax had an explicit prohibition against its use for new construction; this prohibition was removed in 1927. Accompanying legislation also created the "Motor Vehicle Fuel Fund," with some of the money going directly to counties and other funds being deposited into the "State Highway Maintenance Fund" for maintenance, repair, widening, resurfacing, and reconstruction of state highways and roads and highways in state parks.

[Federal Shield]In November 1924, the American Association of State Highway Officials proposed the Federal Highway System to coordinate the naming and marking of interstate highways. They prepared a resolution requesting the Secretary of Agriculture to select a system of highways, and appointed a board to perform a study and make recommendations in March 1925. Initial routes were selected from the Federal Aid Road System, and it was decided that routes be marked by means of a standard highway marking sign. The basic goal was to have the US Highway milage be no more than 3% of the total certified rural miles in the state. California's eventual milage was 2,220 miles, or 3.1%.
In 1925, the Legislature passed the Melville Act, which provided that the state take over all traversable highways, abolish toll roads, and build highways through the small cities that could not afford them. This extended the responsibility of the Division of Highways beyond rural road construction. The act also permitted the Highway Commission to relinquish roads, provided that they had the consent of the local governing body.
Also in 1925, AASHTO adopted the numbering system for the Federal Highway system.

1926 saw the design of the Federal Highway Shield. Signing didn't begin in California until 1928.
In 1927, California's legislature passed the Breed Bill, adding 0ドル.01 to the gasoline tax. The additional tax was to be used exclusively for highway construction. This act also required that 51% of construction monies be allocated to Northern California, and 49% of the monies to Southern California. This latter issue was readdressed in 1947.
Also in 1927, the DPW was reconstituted to have four divisions, including the Division of Highways, which was in charge of the State Highway Engineer. The Highway Commission was expanded to five members, and was given the power to alter state highway routes, abandon unneeded sections, and condemn rights of way.
Lastly, in 1927, the State Highway Classification Act (Chapter 794) was passed. This defined the 40 primary state highway routes.

In 1928, the California State Automobile Association and the Automobile Club of Southern California began erecting Federal Highway shields and other highway signs in California.
In 1929, the Legislature created the California Toll Bridge Authority, which was authorized to acquire or construct and operate toll bridges within the state, and to issue bonds for this purpose.

In a report from the California Highway Commission, specific criteria were established for the designation of a route as a state highway. These required that the potential state highway carry a large volume of state traffic, afford relief to heavy traffic on present state roads, and serve as important interstate links.
This is another year of minor growth with the passage of Chapter 82 (approved March 25, 1931) and Chapter 96 [which said the same thing] (approved April 1, 1931, effective August 14, 1931) of the 1931 Statutes (PDF, 165.4 MB), which established "certain additional state highways and classifying them as secondary highways". Note that most of the routes extended in this year were parts of the US highway system.
