To the two E30 guys on the 5 freeway last night...

[325ix]

interesting. i drop the article and just refer to the road as 70, or 22, or 99. not 'the' 70 or 'the' 22.


different strokes!

This is how i've always said it.

[Habla]

You're all wrong. Its called i5. Always has been.

Can we just settle on teh freewayz

I have heard this brought up before. To me, it makes more sense to say "The" because it references a place (which SoCal people spend lots of time on) instead of just a number. "Just take 22 to Corona" ...take 22 of what? "Just take the 22 to Corona" is a clear reference to highway 22. Also, there are a lot of highways in CA vs other places. I think some states have like two major highways intersecting in the middle. No confusion there. I believe Norcal people drop the article as well, however, nearly all of their freeways end in "80" so there's less confusion...80/280/580/680/780/880...everyone knows them to be freeways vs socal's (LA area alone) 110/101/105/91/405/60/10/170/22/55/57/15/605/710/5/91


Colorado: 25/70/76/87
Providence RI: 95/195/295 ...very easy.
Oregon: 5 and 84?? that's it??? wtf.
