"They follow various combinations of Alaska Routes, which generally
fail to meet Interstate Highway standards, being for the most part
two-lane rural highways without controlled access. The federal

ah, but they're not signed, the interstate designation is
administrative/political (funding).<br>
<br>
this is similar to the issue in NY (and probably other places) where
there are roads<br>
maintained by the state to high standards, with "reference route"
designations, but no<br>
signage other that the small green reference markers. putting these
designations in<br>
a ref tag with a US:<whatever> network would be misleading to
anyone trying to<br>
navigate with a map.<br>
<br>
probably a better example are the unpaved state highways that may be
found<br>
in some parts of New Hampshire. they do have signage, are they secondary<br>
because they're state highways?<br>
