Roseville Road station
Light rail station in California, U.S.
Roseville Road station is an at-grade light rail station on the Blue Line of the SacRT light rail system operated by the Sacramento Regional Transit District. The station is located in the median of Interstate 80 at its intersection with Roseville Road, after which the station is named, in the city of Sacramento, California, United States, close to the southern edge of the community of North Highlands.
The station, along with a 1,087 space park and ride lot, reused a partially built, but later abandoned freeway project.
Many commuters who drive to light rail, even those who live closer to the Watt/I-80 stations, use the Roseville Road station since it has a large, reasonably well-patrolled parking lot, and is easier to reach by car.
The station has no functional pedestrian access, with a 2018 report finding "no sidewalks within a half mile of the platform."
Roseville Road station sits at the eastern end of the intended westbound overpass from the abandoned I-80 project and since the station's opening in 1987, the overpass was used as a two-way vehicular connection from the station to Winters Street via a hairpin turn at the western end of the overpass, but as of 2025, Jersey barriers were put in place at the end of Winters Street and the east end of the overpass, blocking access. Access to the station at Roseville Road itself and the westbound offramp of the Longview Drive interchange (exit 93) from I-80 remain.

Why this record matters
“Roseville Road station” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Roseville, Road and station provides the most credible route into that argument.
Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7368736. Authority coordinates are 38.638, -121.402. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2018, 1987 and 2025.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
