Why is it in California, when giving directions people say:

Take the 405 south to the Aliso exit

where everywhere else in the US, people say:

Take 405 south to the Aliso exit...

when I was in LA I noticed everyone referred to them as freeways, as in "the 5 freeway" whereas I would just call it I-5, which is a highway.
