I actually used to have an inside-joke about this with my co-workers. We used to always give directions using the names of the freeways instead of the numbers. Its fun, you should try it sometime.

"Take the agua fria freeway to the superstition freeway, get off on the hohokam, and take that to the red mountain freeway. That will turn into the maricopa fwy. Exit 7th street." LOL!
