These two are probably the best known of such roads, but there are
others. <br>
--In the 1920s, the Lincoln Highway was established across the United
States to promote auto travel (it seems to have succeeded). Portions were
financed by oil companies. The route was refined several times over the
years, but it is still marked in many places. The route follows
everything from interstates to dirt roads (at a few places out west). It
even has a Web site.<br>
--There's also the beautiful George Washington Parkway, which leads from
Washington, D.C., to Mount Vernon. It also was constructed like the Blue
Ridge and is lined with park land. Its route changes from interstate to
parkway to residential road at the end.<br>
--Of course there's Route 66.<br>
--What about historic rail routes? There's the Orient Express in Europe,
and, for example, the City of New Orleans (recently revived) in the
United States.<br><br>
As for tags, shouldn't they be tagged for the actual way, no matter what
the route? Then, given that these are historically or scenically
important, is there some way to tag them with something like a
"historic or scenic route" tag? <br><br>

<dd>In the US there are two long federally-maintained roads, the Blue
Ridge Parkway and Natchez Trace Parkway, that were built for the sole
purpose of sightseeing. Since they are surrounded by a narrow strip of
parkland, access is only allowed at certain points, so they are
technically expressways (normally trunk in the US). On the other hand,
they are not intended in any way for utilitarian travel, and functionally
fit approximately as secondary or tertiary.<br><br>
<dd>Tagging is thus inconsistent. It looks like the BRP was recently all
changed to secondary, but the NTP has portions of residential (obvious
BS) and primary. I'm pretty sure I've also seen trunk and tertiary used
in the past.<br><br>
<dd>Does anyone have an opinion on how these should be handled?<br><br>
