No, but no prefix is the same in all states (not even I-x;
Texas<br>
officially uses IH x). I don't know of any that use CO for
county<br>
roads.<br>

<div>I don't think we should be storing any prefix as part of the
network=* or ref=* tags (thus my suggestion for
network=us_route/state_route/county_route or similar). For
example the "I-x" denotation shouldn't show up anywhere in our
tags. If it's an interstate it should be tagged as such (I
suggest network=interstate but I think there's a precedent on
the wiki) and the renderer can add the "I-" if it wants to.</div>

i agree, it's a rendering prefix for a ref tag value and deserves<br>
its own, separate tag.<br>
<br>
i've seen an argument that the correct network value for a county<br>
route involves using the actual county name, e.g.<br>
<br>
network=US:NY:Albany<br>
<br>
rather than a more generic CO, CR, CH or what have you, and i<br>
find i can't really argue against that. using the generic value
means<br>
you can't distinguish between CR 1 in Albany County and CR 1 in the<br>
adjacent Rensselaer County based on the network and ref tags.<br>
