Thank you Timeo.
It seems the designation tag was meant for something else, and only used
for this purpose in the Philippines. Do you think this usage would be
beneficial in other countries?

In the Philippines we use designation
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:designation> to record the
legal classification of public roads:
designation=national_road/provincial_road/municipal_road/etc.
This directly indicates ownership and financial responsibility. But
maintenance might be delegated to another authority, e.g. national
roads are maintained by the provincial engineering offices.
If responsibility areas of public works offices are identical to
administrative boundaries then a combination of designation tagging
and spatial queries could be used to locate the authority in charge.

Thanks Martin.
The operator tag seems to be concerned with different, but probably
sometimes partially overlapping, information. It doesn't seem suited
to capture the type of road authority.

I couldn't find an official way to capture this information in OSM.
Is there one?
you could use the operator tag (although it doesn’t relate to
ownership, it is about the entity in charge of maintenance, and
there could be several different entities on a specific level, e.g.
two entities in charge of national highways)
