A tourist highway is a road which is marketed as particularly suited for tourists. Tourist highways may be formed when existing roads are promoted with traffic signs and advertising material. Some tourist highways are built especially for tourism purposes, while others may be roadways enjoyed by local citizens in areas of unique or exceptional natural beauty. In the USA this type of roadway is commonly termed a scenic highway.
