Two more things
One, a sheepish observation I meant to include yesterday: since writing a story in which Ray Person removes his gloves by biting the fingertips, I have become 100% more likely to remove my gloves by biting the fingertips. /o\
Two, a question for Californians: if a person did not happen to know the local name of the highway she was on, because of reasons, but did know that it was (California) State Road 3, what would she call it? Not the 3, presumably. California 3? State Road 3? 3? This situation would never arise because non-numerical names are printed on all the highway signs?

Re: More than you ever wanted to know about California highway nomenclature.
But is that really a name or just a pejorative? [g] I do have to agree with you about I-5, although as a resident of Puyallup I really don't drive it all that often -- when I go to Seattle I ride the express bus most of the time.
I grew up in SoCal and spent a couple of years in Colorado as a teenager and college student, too. But I left California, in 1974, before people started using the article.
As for freeway vs. highway, what did me in was when I lived in Ohio and people kept calling the Interstate the expressway. That was just weird.
