Costa Mesa is a coastal Orange County city of about 110,000 residents next to Newport Beach and John Wayne Airport. It is home to South Coast Plaza, one of the highest-grossing shopping centers in the country, the Segerstrom Center for the Arts, the OC Fair & Event Center, Orange Coast College and Vanguard University, so shoppers, commuters and event crowds keep traffic heavy all year.
Billboards here reach drivers on I-405 (San Diego Freeway), SR-55 (Costa Mesa Freeway) and SR-73, which meet in the north end of the city, plus busy roads such as Harbor Boulevard, Newport Boulevard, Bristol Street, Fairview Road, Baker Street, Sunflower Avenue, Adams Avenue and 17th and 19th streets. High-traffic areas include I-405 near South Coast Plaza and Bristol Street, the I-405 and SR-55 interchange, Harbor Boulevard's retail corridor, and Newport Boulevard toward the beach and the OC Fair & Event Center.
