I'm a So Cal native and when I talk about driving south, I'm either going to take "the" 101, "the" 1, or "the" 5.

They are highways/freeways. Without the "the" all they are are numbers.

If I said I'm going to take 101 down south, people would say: "take 101 whats down south? 101 passengers? 101 apples? 101 bottles of wine?"

But when I say I'm taking "the" 101 down south, it's immediately clear.
