Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but State Roads are snow emergency routes. The only other roads I've seen marked a SER were the block the fire chief lived on and such.
Thought I'd add that just because it's a snow emergency route, that doesn't mean it will be safe to travel. It just means that they will try to clear it a little bit faster. I traveled on a snow emergency route to go 5 miles home from work last February. It took 45 minutes, in first gear the whole time, sliding along through 4 inches of snow.
These routes tend to be enacted after one-off severe storms, then forgotten. As another said, they're more likely to have stringent parking regulations than to be passable during a storm. Also, the first road to have abandoned vehicles towed away after the fact.
