What's the consensus for county roads in the US?

Right now, my home county (Kane, IL) has a very well mapped and signed 
county road network, but the data is buried in the name_1 tag in OSM, thanks 
to TIGER. I've planned to move these to relations, but I haven't seen any 
other county-level networks, so I'd like to get the syntax right before I 
dive in.

Would it be:

Big Timber Road. network=us_il_kane

I don't want ref tags on these, as the shields will quickly get too 
cluttered in Mapnik.
