Which country/state/province uses the best system for organizing and classifying their highways in the world?

Kinda hard to place it between Maryland and Kentucky with their absolute generosity to make anything a state highway.

Why do different countries use different systems for organizing and classifying their highways, if any such systems exist at all?

So they can argue over whose system is the best in the world.

Ken, I'll take fractional road signs for $1000.  What is West Virginia?

Arkansas, because the designation of AR-600 and AR-980 was a stroke of sheer genius.

Arkansas and Indiana. The more disparate sections of roadway with the same number, the better.

Which country/state/province uses the best system for organizing and classifying their highways in the world?

Alanland

It's a little-known fact that Alanland, despite not consisting of states, does in fact have "state highways." Perhaps the best-known example is Alanland Route Kentucky (AL-KY), which connects the towns of (page torn off) and a strange town name. These two towns despise each other and are fierce rivals; sporting events between their respective high schools are known as the "Kentucky Derby," for obvious reasons.

In fact, the most recent Kentucky Derby was played just yesterday. In what was an exciting Alanian Rules Football match, the (page torn off) Goats defeated the a strange town name Goats, 10π to 4√5. Pictured below are some of the fine citizens of (page torn off) celebrating their victory:

Malaysia. As far as I can tell, new highways are proposed by writing a low-quality, unsourced Wikipedia article about an existing road. If an editor from outside Malaysia (on either Wikipedia or the AARoads wiki) adds sources to the article, it can be assigned a number.

For all its faults, it would be CA, because of the no-duplicates rule that makes its numbering system the neatest in the nation.

Honestly Alanland doesn't really feel like the Perkins Union, despite Scott declaring that very early in his first lore dump.  I associate Alanland with goats and absurdity and the Perkins Union with extreme punishments (remember when The Premier got upset and everyone else's posts about roadside executions and the like and claimed the PU was a state with the same civil rights and whatnot, only to post about a nightclub owner being burned at the stake because of blocked emergency exits leading to people dying in a fire shortly thereafter?).

No, not Alanian Rules Football. Kumquat Discus.

Some of Jake's early Alanland posts effortlessly combined the brutal punishments with the absurdity ("the punishment for a first offense is death. the punishment for a second offense is also death. the penalty for a third offense is you have to wear a silly hat for a week."). But for whatever reason that didn't really catch on like the goats did.

Alanland guide signs have a red background as a pretty direct homage to the PU.

Because money.

Why are toll roads more common in the Midwest and Northeast than in the rest of the country?

Midwestern dairy production makes traveling through the area harder on people with lactose intolerance, so the tolls are needed to fund the frequent service plazas necessary to serve travelers so affected.

The Northeast has tolls because westerly winds bring that region the Midwestern dairy air.
