Interstate 6 has never existed.
I-106 is an early California proposed number inconsistent with the interstate highway numbering convention.
I-106 (preliminary numbering) California (link)
On April 1, 1958, California submitted to AASHO a numbering plan for its proposed
interstates, including 3-digit spurs numbered in the low 100s and not associated
with their parent interstates. Interstate 106 was the proposed number for what
became the old I-105 and I-110, where the Santa Ana and San Bernardino
freeways meet. [1]
This number was not compliant with AASHO's numbering convention and was rejected.
On August 7, 1958, California had bought in to the system and
submitted I-105 and I-110. AASHO wanted to combine them into a continuous I-110,
but the state replied that ramp configurations made it impossible for motorists
to follow the entire route. Hence the two spur designations. [1]
These numbers were approved, along with the rest of California's original
interstate highway system, on Nov. 10, 1958. [2]
