These two are probably the best known of such roads, but there are others.
--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.
--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.
--Of course there's Route 66.
--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.
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?

They should be part of a route relation.

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.
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.
Does anyone have an opinion on how these should be handled?
