They should apply to individual ways as well, for the simple cases like 
CA-243, which is part of the California State Scenic Highway System 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Scenic_Highway_System_(California)) and 
has shields for it periodically.

How about just scenic=yes?

The existing historic key could be used as historic=route for the historic 
routes.
