Definately needs the word 'the' in front of the noun, no matter what noun that may be.
This reference to the correct pronunciation of the Highway 101 or the Interstate 5 is akin to nothing more than local slang and the bastardisation of proper english. Another (American) example often heard is "get around back" as opposed to "get around the back".
I think this subject may miss it's mark with a lot of the members here, who couldn't give two hoots with regards to correct spelling, pronunciation, grammar etc. None the less, an interesting observation.
