the 101

Typical Southern Californian turn of phrase inappropriately adding "the" when referring to highway 101 despite the fact that "101" is in fact a proper name. Oddly enough, only applies to freeways.

Get on the fourth street, then take the G street down past the Pine avenue, turn left on the Broadway and get on the 101.

The way a true Southern Californian refers to Highway 101. Though greatly disputed by those from North California, this is the only correct way to refer to The 101.

Get on the 101 and take the first exit.
