Google is not the final word. CA 1 has MANY names depending on where you
live. You won't be misunderstood very often if you just call it Hwy 1.
I lived in Big Sur for 22 years and never saw a sign calling it the
Cabrillo Hwy.
Highways and even freeways will sometimes have a segment named for
somebody. This only add to the confusion IMHO.
Pacific Coast Highway (PCH), to me, is the stretch through the LA mess.
(Santa Barbara to Mexico)
There are as many names as there are governments to "rename" a short
portion of the road in memory of somebody.
Just call it Hwy 1 and 99% of the people will know of which you speak.
