{weaseling in...'xcuse me, pardon me, 'xcuse me, pardon me} I'll take the liberty of butting in and answering for David

It's San Bernardino. The multi-level freeway interchange between the I-10 & the I-215 freeways is directly on top of the San Andreas.

Yeah, Coalinga is one...but it is right near the San Andreas, too. You have to remember the San Andreas runs right through California from where it crosses the border from Mexico around Calexico/Mexicali all the way up to where it hits the coast about Monterey Bay, then makes a left turn into the Pacific Ocean just south of Eureka about 950 miles later.
