The most notable example of this is North Willard Street[2]. It is part of US Route 7, but as can be seen with Bing Imagery, it is narrow, made narrower by street parking on both sides, and is controlled by stop signs. Similarly, Main Street is part of US Route 2, but has many lights, and does not even satisfy the "near the highest speed generally allowed on surface streets" note about secondary streets.
An uninformed opinion - armchair only, and from a different part of the country.
An informal US OSM convention is that US highways are generally a minimum of primary, no matter how small the highway is when going through a town. I would say that this is especially valid when there are no better driving routes nearby with lower legal classification. It would be a gray area to me if an alternate state or county route had better driving attributes (width, speed, traffic control devices etc).
