Typical Southern Californian turn of phrase inappropriately adding "the" when referring to highway 101 despite the fact that "101" is in fact a proper name. Oddly enough, only applies to freeways.
Get on the fourth street, then take the G street down past the Pine avenue, turn left on the Broadway and get on the 101.
