if I don’t interpret this wrong, in Germany and Italy we are using the motorroad=yes qualifier for what appears to be called autovia in Spain (motorway like access restrictions). We are further using highway=trunk for all roads that are similar to motorways (no grade level intersections, ramps) but are not legally motorways. trunk and motorroad are orthogonal properties/classes.
