If I understand you correctly, you're looking to tag the ownership of a
road, not the road "network" it belongs to, correct?

In this case, use ownership=*:

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:ownership

This indicates what type of organization owns land, facility, etc.

Ownership key can be one of:

* national (nation state)
* state (as in USA) or province (e.g. län in Sweden) or territory
* county
* municipal
