I'd say most states do. That doesn't mean, though, we have to copy it. The
SR is assumed.
Not to mention states like Texas, which have, for example:
State Highway (SH) 121
Loop 12
Spur 408
Beltway 8
Farm to Market Road (FM) 1960
Park Road (PR) 27
and probably a few more types.
It seems like each state has a State Route / State Highway class of road,
and a ton of existing tagging with the aforementioned:
network=US:ST
ref=#
or
ref="ST #"
For FM 1960, I'd use:
network=US:TX
ref="FM 1960"
or
ref="TX FM 1960"
These should require no extra work in parsing - the additional class just
becomes part of the route # for display. If a particular renderer has the
right shields for these classes in each state, it can parse out the route
class. Standard abbreviations for the route classes should be listed in the
wiki page for the particular state highway tagging.
