"is" as in if you say "take 405" in Los Angeles, people start repeating you in a Russian accent to illuminate what a rube you are. The government calls it "the San Diego Freeway" because fuck you, that's why. Know what's funny? The road between the 10 (the Santa Monica Freeway in this case, but also the San Bernardino Freeway) and the 1 (the Pacific Coast Highway) used to be called the 187 until, well, So now it's called "Moomat Ahiko Way" because apparently that's the name of a river that may or may not have been there in the language of a tribe that may or may not have lived there. Or so the story goes. I mean, they crowdsourced this shit.
