This results in lots of confusion. For example, California Vehicle Code defines "highway" as "a way or place of whatever nature, publicly maintained and open to the use of the public for purposes of vehicular travel. Highway includes street." This is much wider understanding of what "highway" is than that of the rest of the country.

Also "parkway", from the era when there was more landscaping around freeways.
