Prior to the early 2000s, I understand that all of Alberta's "secondary" highway network was owned and maintained by the municipalities, but the numbering was administered provincially; Alberta later assumed control of that network. New Brunswick reportedly had a county road network prior to the 1960s as well. I'm not sure what Quebec's 200- and 300-series roads were originally.
The only province not to have a Secondary Highway network of some sort at all is BC. It appears that there are a lot of municipal roads in the rural parts of the Lower Mainland that feed into provincial highways.
Many U.S. states have numbered county roads, although at least in New York they appear to be more minor, local roads than many of the ones we see in Ontario.
