>State Route 142, (SR 142) also known as Carbon Canyon Road for most of its length, runs southwest from State Route 71 in Chino Hills, through Olinda Village to its intersection with Lambert Road and Valencia Avenue in Brea. At the intersection, the highway turns south onto Valencia Avenue and ends at State Route 90, Imperial Highway. The eastern portion of the route is known as Chino Hills Parkway.
It is signed as a scenic route from the Orange-San Bernardino County line to Peyton Drive in Chino Hills. It is a popular shortcut between the Inland Empire and the business centers of Brea and surrounding Orange County; however, the road has many curves and travel is not recommended for trucks or large vehicles.
This route is part of the California Freeway and Expressway System[2] and is eligible for the State Scenic Highway System[3].
It offers no access to Chino Hills State Park, contrary to the name of the eastern portion of the route. That park can be reached via Soquel Canyon Parkway, a few blocks south. Nonetheless, akin to the name of the western portion of the route, Carbon Canyon Regional Park can be accessed from the 142, near its westerly terminus.

[edit] Carbon Canyon Resident Decal
[edit] Carbon Canyon Access Plan
The Carbon Canyon resident decal is one component of the “Carbon Canyon Access Plan” developed by the City of Chino Hills for use in the event of an emergency or extended road closure in Carbon Canyon. The resident decal would identify Carbon Canyon residents and would allow them access to their homes during an emergency closure, when public safety personnel deem it is safe and appropriate. The Carbon Canyon Access Plan also includes public information and public safety components, which are essential during wildfires, such as the Freeway Complex Fire of November 2008, which raged through the area..
The decal will only be issued to Carbon Canyon residents that reside within the Carbon Canyon area. The Carbon Canyon area is defined as the Chino Hills communities along Carbon Canyon Road from the Orange County line to Chino Hills Parkway. Identification and appropriate documentation is required.
These Conditional Access Decals are issued for motorized vehicles only and will not be issued to trailers. Chino Hills residents and others who commute through Carbon Canyon to access the 57 Freeway, the City of Brea, or other destinations will not be issued this pass.
This decal must be renewed annually. To apply for Annual Carbon Canyon Resident Decal, residents must submit an application. Take it, along with personal identification (you must show that you are a Carbon Canyon resident) and vehicle registration(s), to the Community Services Department, which is located at 14000 City Center Drive, Chino Hills, CA 91709. There is no payment required.
Carbon Canyon Resident Decals can be obtained during regular business hours of Monday - Thursday 7:30 am to 5:30 pm and 7:30 am to 4:30 pm on Friday. For additional information, please contact the Neighborhood Services Division at (909) 364-2714.
Possession of a decal, however, does not guarantee access: public safety considerations take precedence. Access is therefore conditional. Residents will be granted access whenever appropriate circumstances exist, as determined by a public safety official, the police, the fire authority, or an official designee.
Decals must be hung from the rear view mirror to be valid (motorcycles excepted). Any duplication or unauthorized modification of the decal is strictly prohibited.

- ^ It is noted that at the time of renumbering of the California State Highways, Route 142 began at the corner of Imperial Highway and Carolina Avenue (now Kraemer Boulevard), continued north on Carolina Avenue to Birch Street, then east on Birch Street to Valencia Avenue. It turned north on Valencia Avenue and followed the same route as the present. The beginning postmile is R0.75 instead of 0.00 because of the realignment and the resulting shortening of the route.
