The common way to visually specify the difference between our roads is with shields. Every single nav product I've interacted with (Google Maps, MapQuest, Bing, Garmin, TomTom, and Google Navigation to name a few) display the blue/red shields for interstates, white with black outline shields for US routes, round white circles for county roads, etc. They don't display the prefix (but they may use them in routing).
