I don’t know if it’s doing it in English, but for some reason Apple Maps is prefixing “zero” to a bunch of numbered highways when announcing directions.
Like Highway 183 is just 183, but my phone will say “prenez la sortie pour rejoindre zero cent quatre-vingt-trois.”
Like, am I mishearing it? It seems to happen very consistently, but not 100% of the time. Notably it doesn’t seem to happen with roads designated by four digits.

rk: it’s hyphen-minus actually
