I've wondered this since I've been out here in CA -- is CA the only state
which does not number its freeway/highway exits (except the stretch 
mentioned above)?  Why?  I find it rather inconvenient, both for 
cross-state road trips and for local clarity.  (There are several
exits off 280 for Stevens Creek Blvd. since the two roads run parallel
for several miles.)
