TIGER's state highway data is pretty horrible. For example, in
Florida, there are many so-called state roads that were given to the
counties in the 1980s. It seems most have been fixed, but here's an
example: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=30.4537&lon=-85.2118&zoom=14&layers=M

You also have major problems in towns, where a route doesn't make a
turn like it should.
