What is a state scenic byway?
To be a scenic byway, a state road must be a transportation corridor that is regionally significant in one of these qualifying areas: scenic, natural, recreational, cultural, historic, or archaeological. Each corridor should represent the uniqueness and diversity of the state with a unifying theme that tells a story about New Jerseys heritage, recreational opportunities, history and beauty. Roads that have a variety of scenic or interesting features with no relationship to each other do not create an overall sense of the roads character, history, or culture and therefore should not be considered for the scenic byway designation.
