The roads listed below are all in the United States, primarily Louisiana, Texas, and Kentucky, though there are some roads in this range in Georgia and New Mexico.

In Texas, the four-digit roads are given the designation farm-to-market road (FM) or ranch-to-market (RM). In Georgia, the highways hold the abbreviation SR for State Route.
