I lived in Orlando for many years the only time I or my friends used the term OBTwas when we were refering to the strip that went through Orlando proper , I always thought the name was given to it because of all the strip joints and bars that used to be there and the girls who walked the trail. If I was telling someone how to get somewhere north or south of Orlando I would say it’s up on 441, I’ve never used the term on the 441 that runs through the villages , so I guess it’s how you learned about the road and from who
