Why is it that not all states have National Scenic Byways?

[edit] US-centric?

The US isn't the only country with national scenic byways, right? The article is clear about referring to U.S. only, but should this be moved to National Scenic Byway (U.S.) with this article focusing on non-country-specific properties of a national scenic route? There doesn't seem to be a general "scenic route" article. B.S. Lawrence (talk) 18:13, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

There is currently no other topic called "National Scenic Byway". Do other countries use the same specific term? --Polaron | Talk 18:49, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] San Luis Obispo North Coast Byway

I can't tell if this is supposed to be included or not. The America's Byways site says it was designated in 2002, but the 2002 FHWA list does not include it. The America's Byways site from early 2003 does not list it, despite showing others added the previous year; when they reformatted their site later that year, it was added to the list. --NE2 09:34, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

I emailed them and got the reply:

Route 1 - San Luis Obispo North Coast Byway was indeed designated in 2002. However, the byway did not want to announce the fact at that time, so with their approval, the FHWA left them out of the official news release.

Strange... --NE2 07:06, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
