"the I-5"

[AndrewBird]

I use both. It's kind of weird. I say "I-5", not "the I-5", but say "the 405" not "405". Really, I only don't use "the" with I-5.

[aaron_silva]

I say neither "the" or "I". I just say "5".

Take 5 north.

[Justin B]

Whats an interstate? :P

[Dave]

Around here, most prople just refer to them by the number "75" "275", etc. Some use the "I" in front of it, but never "the 75" or "the I-75".

In Florida, I know a lot of British people there and they refer to all numbered roads with "the" in front of them - such as "the 192"

Don't you have a few interstates in Oahu?

[browntown]

Don't you have a few interstates in Oahu?

If I remember correctly there is one in hawaii, H-1 or something. Not really an interstate, but a federal highway.

Ahh this shows em all: http://www.hawaiihighways.com/Interstate-ends.html

[robert325is]

here everyone just says the number

like "go to 45"

or "stay on 610"

[nando]

I always say the I-5 (and so does everyone I know), and I'm a fair bit more north than most of you :P

Dave, I'd guess it's because the highways in the UK start with letters. You take the M1 versus you take M1.

[808BMW]

I guess its funny to have 4 roads to go to another state, when they dont lead to another state :P

Big Island FTW

[Jand3rson]

It's I-5. No "the" involved.
