Numbering in the UK reflects the "importance" of a route: National routes carry two-digit numbers Regional routes carry three-digit numbers Local cycle routes are less consistently labelled. OSM, born in the UK has inherited this approach The UK national bicycle network is managed by Sustrans - see https://www.sustrans.org.uk/national-cycle-network Similarly tiered systems exist in the Netherlands and Germany. In Italy there is a similar approach, that mirrors the administrative organisation of the country: National routes connect several regions. Regional routes connect severela provinces and local routes are typically within a single province.
