Also, if you're referring to my post on the US regional list, I'm still 
kind of up in the air about it.  I think I see a need for a road level 
between tertiary and unclassified.

County highways (imported from TIGER as secondary) are generally larger 
and/or more significant than the other roads around them, but usually 
less so than state highways which are also imported from TIGER as secondary.

But then, some county highways are larger than some state highways, so 
it's kind of a toss-up.

I think my proposal, 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Proposed_features/Highway_administrative_and_physical_descriptions
attempts to address this kind of problem.
