The problem with refering to freeways by name, at least in SoCal, is that the names and numbers don't always correspond. For example, "The San Diego Freeway" applies to all of the 405 and parts of the 5. The 5 carries other names (Santa Ana Freeway, Golden State Highway) which I find confusing. Personally, I don't have a problem with saying "the 5". There is only one "5" around here and use of the definitive article seems appropriate.
