A freeway is a limited access highway. Interstates are also a type of highway that are usually also freeways. I wouldn't call highway 12 or 160 freeways, but a lot of highway 99 is a freeway. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Highway is good for little roads, like highway 39 to the 101 aka the freeway. Why would anyone casually say the word "interstate"? I ain't got time for that many syllables.

The Vehicle Code hilariously defines "highway" as, basically, "eh, whatever." http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=VEH§ionNum=360 quote:“Highway” is a way or place of whatever nature, publicly maintained and open to the use of the public for purposes of vehicular travel. Highway includes street.

In SoCal we pretty much only say freeway. That's the point! nah, people in Nor Cal say freeway all the time (in the Bay Area, at least). A lot of highway sections are officially named as "XXXX Freeway" (Nimitz Freeway, Central Freeway, Bayshore Freeway, etc), in Nor Cal, though in most cases only olds say the actual name part, everyone else just says "freeway". I live next to 580, but unless i'm giving directions, i'm just gonna call it the freeway.

The freeway/highway distinction makes a lot more sense in regions of the country where not all highways are free.

Deep South transplant here, I'm used to saying i-number. Like hopping on i-85 via i-65 in Montgomery, Alabama! Dunno what kind of dork would actually say "interstate 40" or whatever though

AngryBooch posted:Seems like a way to alienate the Republican reps from CA and NY when the Republicans need all the votes they can from their own caucus. Yeah, I can see the senate maybe being OK with it because people from tiny red states are hugely overrepresented, but there must be close to a hundred house republicans from states that benefit from these breaks and their big money donors will be pissed if they lose their tax write offs. Worth remembering that a huge chunk of the republican warchest comes from conservatives in blue states. Trump and Romney certainly fund raised in California and New York, even if they didn't campaign there. Plus the article mentioned that Texas is another major beneficiary, so I wouldn't count on even red state republicans holding to their tax "reform" ideology once their donors come knocking.
