You're conflating road names and route numbers. ;-) I've seen county 
routes that you've tagged this way in Oklahoma and I don't question its 
correctness, but the example I gave in Indiana would not be tagged as a 
county route.

In Indiana and Ohio counties where the terrain allows for an 
uninterrupted countywide street grid, the county-maintained roads are 
have county *road* numbers instead of numbered county *route* numbers. A 
"South County Road 600 East" or "South 600 East" would have more in 
common with an "East 8th Street" in town than a "County Route 600" in a 
neighboring county with a route system. Just as some cities number their 
north-south streets and letter their east-west streets, some counties 
letter their east-west street too. Some counties have both a numbered 
road grid and a numbered route network.

In the past, I was unaware of this distinction and tended to tag them 
all as routes, but in hindsight, that misconception led me to invent way 
refs like "CR 600 E" that were nothing more than abbreviations of street 
names in reality, akin to "E 8th St". [1] Rather than add them to 
relations, I need to go back and delete these refs.
