It is really so clear-cut, though? It seems that certain numbers lend themselves to articles, while others don't. For example, 101 is referred to as "the 101", correct? But I think 280 is just 280.

There's also "the" 1.

Anecdote of two hypothesis: we put an article in front of names of highways whose number-designation has a leading digit of 1.

Also, do you say the letter in front of the number? I'd probably say 'I-95' but '79.'

Entertaining in a different way is once again, dear old Pittsburgh. The Parkway East is 376. Now, 'Parkway West' seems to refer not to 376 going the other way, but to 279, which runs north and south and is also refered to as the 'Parkway North'. There is no 'Parkway South.'

Putting "the" in front of numbered freeways is a southern California trait and northern Californians like to get outraged about it. But why not? "The" Golden State freeway, "the" PCH, "the" El Camino Real Highway. Like every other instance of the southern California/northern California "rivalry", the northern Californians are outraged and frothing and the southern Californians are all "Dude, whatever. You got a nice little town up there. I liked the clam chowder in the sourdough bowl."

I grew up in LA, and my family had a split system for talking about numbered routes. If we were talking about local travel, we used "the": "I think I'll avoid the 405." If we were talking about long-distance travel, we didn't: "Let's take 101 instead of 5 up north."

I know what roads are called mostly from listening to traffic reports. Also places on the roads, like "Hubbard's Cave." Phrases like the latter feel invented for radio, though.

I don't remember what many roads were called in Columbus, whether because I've forgotten, never paid much attention, or because I've become aware of how eccentric my family's argot was, and therefore don't trust memory as being representative. "Route 23," pronounced rout and not root is one I do remember

57 -- In Modesto, Briggsmore was designated an Expressway, where other thoroughfares were called Street or Road or Avenue. Briggsmore had fewer streets feeding into it you see, and a slightly higher speed limit than other city streets. 45 MPH if I recall correct.

44, 47 -There's a toll at the end of the Carquinez Bridge, on the 80 westbound towards Sac. I have paid it often. There are other bridges besides the Bay Bridge and the Golden Gate (which both take an article, I notice), although since they don't lead to The City, you might never have taken them.

I think of those as toll bridges, not toll roads. Roads are god's gift to us for driving the savages out of the West and not something we should notice paying for. Bridges, well, those cost money.

I always feel sorry for non-natives when I listen to traffic reports. How are they to know that the Blue Route is I-476? Everybody calls it the Blue Route in conversation, even on the radio. But if you're actually driving on it, the signs say 476. No "Blue Route" anywhere.

In Chicago, we would not call roads with those features expressways. At two places I can think of, a road becomes an expressway when it goes to limited access, no lights or other controls. Congress, in downtown, becomes the Eisenhower Expressway, formerly the Congress Expressway, when it leaves the lights and driveways behind. Similarly, US 41 becomes the Edens Expressway in the Northern Suburbs, approaching the city. In both cases, the expressways are also Interstates for all but a few hundred yards of their lengths, I-90 and I-94, respectively.

Oh, it's starting to come back to me: expressways were those streets that were designed to handle more traffic, and since they do actually have more traffic, are generally slower than 25 MPH neighborhood lanes. If I recall correctly, Telegraph Ave. is a designated expressway, at least south of Sacramento Ave, which is still hilarious.

Then there's the Heisenberg Expressway, where one doesn't know where one is until one gets out of the car.

I think the "the" is used in SoCal as a sign of respect. One must properly worship and occasionally pour libations to the Ghods of Asphalt, lest the freeways turn into parking lots on a permanent basis rather than merely during the 20 hours a day known as "rush hour".

In Boston, two main city routes were called "Comm Ave" and "Mass Ave" by locals, leading to confusion for visitors who drove down Commonwealth and Massachusetts Avenues looking vainly for the former.

Reading through those old comment threads makes me sad.

Check it out, it's my opera argument, which occurred first as farce and was repeated as tragedy.

Wasn't it subsequently repeated a few more times as light comedy?

OT, but as long as we're being sad: the division from Schofield Barracks that just deployed to Iraq is starting to have people killed, which leads to stories hitting the front page of our paper every few days that make me cry. The first was just 18 and newly married. Burn in hell, Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld.

I meant this link, but the link in 106 is to a comment that was made during the relevant week, so…

Hey, I think I didn't have sound capability at the time, so I never actually listened to the cowboy throat singing. As soon as the album I'm listening to finishes I am on that.
