And caribou only come from the Caribou region of Canada, otherwise they are known as sparkling reindeer.

Sparkling reindeer are actually the Finnish subspecies.

Also, gently caress that stretch of the 401. I've ridden the GSXR on the QEW/401 from Montreal to Niagara Falls and that stretch around Mississauga/Oakville is the scariest part.

Unless you take the 407 for part of it, you miss that stretch of the 401 completely. Even if you take the 403 instead of the 427.

Well, they're structures

e. probably has something to do with growing up with freeways vs. routes. "Take the route* 20", or whatever, sound weird. "Take 405 freeway" does too.


norcal is just wrong.

* Or "interstate", come to think of it

We're just lazy or something down here. It's like "Take 20 to 405".

See this is way less weird to me over something like "Take the on ramp off of the twenty to the four oh five then merge right so you can take the four oh five to the four oh one and then exit onto the nineteen"

In Canada our highways aren't called interstates, so instead of shortening "Interstate 5" to "I-5", we shorten "the 401 Highway" to "the 401".

Good thing they have it on video; hard to explain to the insurance company without it.

Having worked at a body shop I've the results from bears getting into cars and the damage is impressive. Insurance absolutly covers it.

In SoCal we call freeways "the 405," or "the 101" too. But I knew someone from NorCal who said that was really only a Socal thing.

In Seattle, I refer to I-5 as "the 5" and highway 99 as "99," is that weird?

In Atlanta, it was "The Connector" and "85" and "75" and "the 400."

SoCal had the first freeway and uses the “the” prefix therefore we named it and every other area is saying it incorrectly :colbert:

I like freeway nomenclature chat.

Alaska doesn't use numbers. Every highway is named. The only place you see the numbers is on a few of the newer, larger street signs. Like if I said I was taking highway one to Valdez for the weekend, someone would probably punch me. I lived there most of my life and despite having only, like, four highways in the whole state I couldn't give you their official fancy numbers.

When I moved to civilization it was a completely bizarre experience to realize I needed to learn how to do basic navigation. For instance, I was well into my thirties before I figured out that interstate exit numbers coincided with mile markers. That's just not a concept you learn in Alaska. You just take the Chugiak exit.
