tourist highway
Visitor's main road
A tourist highway is a scenic or historic route designated for recreational driving rather than efficient transportation.
These roads wind through landscapes, historic districts, or culturally significant areas, often marked with special signage: We took the tourist highway along the coast instead of the interstate.
The designation implies a leisurely pace and frequent stops at viewpoints or attractions.
