What is the National Scenic Byways<br />

Program and what is the difference<br />

between National Scenic Byways and<br />

All-American Roads?<br />

All the roads designated by the U.S. Secretary of<br />

Transportation are considered part of the America’s Byways<br />

collection. To be designated as a National Scenic Byway, (as<br />

Shenandoah National Park), a road must possess at least one<br />

of the six intrinsic qualities (historic, cultural, natural, scenic,<br />

recreational, archeological). The features contributing to the<br />

distinctive characteristics of the corridor’s intrinsic qualities<br />

must possess regional significance.<br />

To receive an All-American Road designation, (as does the<br />

<strong>Blue</strong> <strong>Ridge</strong> <strong>Parkway</strong>), a road must possess multiple intrinsic<br />

qualities that are nationally significant, and contain one-of-akind<br />

features that do not exist elsewhere. The road must also<br />

be considered a destination unto itself. That is, the road must<br />

provide an exceptional traveling experience so recognized<br />

by travelers that the primary reason for their trip would be to<br />

drive along the Byway.
