Try here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/United_States_roads_tagging or here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Mapping/Features/Road or here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Key:highway or here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Highway_tag_usage or here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Talk:Highway_tag_usage (that's where
I put my proposal, username SiliconFiend)

Lots of conflicting information and stuff scattered all over the Wiki with
poor cross-linking. Enjoy!
