Back home (in NW Ohio) I heard it both ways, but the out version seemed
to be used more for highways and such: mostly State Route (out) 15, almost
always Rural Route (out) 5, mostly Paper Route (out). 
Then there was the difference between Root (Rooot) & Root (Rut).  The folks
would always correct us if we slipped into Rut.  But other people used it.
(BTW: as in plant roots).
