scenic highways

Roads with views

Scenic highways are roads officially designated for their beautiful views or landscapes, typically featuring mountains, coastlines, forests, or other natural attractions.

The designation often brings restrictions on billboards and development to preserve the visual experience.

We took the scenic highway along the coast instead of the interstate.
