One minor correction - Interstate 5 doesn't end "somewhere in California"; in point of fact, it continues to the southern border of the US, where it becomes the main road to Ensenada (and then links up with Mexico 1, which continues south down the Baja California peninsula to Cabo San Lucas).

Of course, if you're trying to drive south through Orange County in the afternoon, you can be forgiven for thinking that the freeway has in fact ended, and dumped you in a parking lot...
