There are probably signs, but that is about it. Naming interchanges and sections of roads after people has become very popular in So. Cal in the last several years (the 57 freeway between the 91 and Imperial Highway is named after
CHP Officer Donny Burt, who was killed in the line of duty in 1996.
I found this on Wikipedia about Judge Harry Pregerson:

In 2002, the California Legislature officially named the giant interchange between Interstate 110 (California) and Interstate 105 (California) the "Judge Harry Pregerson Interchange" in honor of the fact that Pregerson is the longest serving judge in the history of the Ninth Circuit. Furthermore, as a district judge, he supervised the settlement of the federal lawsuit against the Century Freeway, which enabled the interchange to be built. Judge Pregerson's name is now on signs at the interchange
