In Southern California, people always put the word "the" in front of the highway number. As in "Traffic was bad on the 10 today." In northern California, they leave out "the"'. As in "Traffic was bad on 280 today".
Speculation is that they do this in Southern California so they can insert the word "fucking" between "the" and the highway number.
