Roads

There are no freeways here. Call some road a freeway and you've given yourself away as a Californian.  Instead there are:

• Interstates (66, 95, 97, etc)  and it's not "the" 66.  It is I-66 or Interstate 66
• Parkways (like the Pasadena Freeway north of Los Angeles)
• Tollways. ( Freeways that cost money)
• The Beltway (an Interstate (495) that goes in a complete circle around DC.  Seriously.  If you drive to Annapolis, you can take the northern half there and the southern half back and have the whole beltway covered.  And there is no 495 N or 495 S.  It is the "inner loop" and the "outer loop." 
• Surface highways (like La Cienega or Hawthorne Boulevard)
• Back roads (like Kanan Dune Road in Malibu)
• The Mixing Bowl (where all the different Interstates collide at the bottom of the Beltway--Kind of like the 4-level in Downtown LA)
• the Interstate between Washington and Baltimore is called a parkway.  Go figure.
