And not AR ###, "because that's not what the routes are actually called". Well, I'm not convinced. Apparently these website also have it wrong according to NE2: http://www.magnoliachamber.com/community/transportation.php http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arkansas_Highway_29 So, what is our (OSM) standard? Do we want to ref-label Arkansas State Highway 27 as AR 27 or Hwy 27?
