It makes sense the way you explain it. I was looking at it as a name of
the route and thinking it should me the same as signs etc. But not the
fact that routing engines and renderers will know it’s a state highway
based on the state abbreviation.
Do any routing engines currently care about prefixes on way refs?
From what I've seen so far, most of the map styles that use the ref tag
to distinguish route networks will recognize either the state
abbreviation, "SR", or "SH". Some renderers use the prefix to choose a
state-specific shield, assuming any unrecognized prefix is for a county
route (white rectangle at higher zoom levels). MapQuest only recognizes
state/provincial abbreviations. Not that we should place too much stock
in individual renderer decisions. :-)
