scenic byway
Beautiful driving path
A scenic byway is a road officially designated for its exceptional natural beauty, historic interest, or cultural significance.
Unlike highways built purely for efficient travel, scenic byways invite leisurely driving through landscapes worth seeing: We took the scenic byway along the coast instead of the interstate.
The term usually implies government recognition and maintained viewpoints or pulloffs.
