The division isn't quite that simple.  San Diego natives (myself, for
one) would never consider putting "the" in front of a freeway.  It
would always be "5," or rarely "I-5."  Saying "the 5" is a
crystal-clear sign that you're from LA or Orange County.

Naming freeways is also only a LA/Orange County deal, and is never
done in San Diego.  I think people in LA name their freeways so that
no one from outside the area can understand their traffic reports.
