The Grand Central, the Cross Bronx, the Deegan, the Hutch, the Wilbur Cross, The Wantagh, The Meadowbrook, the Cross Westchester, the Cross County, The Northern State Parkway (or "the parkway" if you're a LI Native, as opposed to the GSP), the Seaford Oyster Bay expressway... The only roads that I refer to by the # is 95, 27, 3 and 46, and none get "the" in front.
