The 49-Mile Scenic Drive (also known as 49-Mile Drive) in and around San Francisco highlights many of The City's major attractions and historic structures.

Created as a promotion for the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition it featured views of the newly built Golden Gate Bridge (opened May, 1937) and the Bay Bridge (opened November, 1936). It terminated at the fairgrounds on Treasure Island.

The Drive is marked by blue and white signs that lead you through the city. It all begins at the intersection of Hayes Street and Van Ness Avenue, near City Hall:

In the movie Quick Change, Randy Quaid is driving Geena Davis and Bill Murray through one of the boroughs of New York City. They get completely lost and begin looking for any type of sign that may help them find out where they are. Quaid's character eventually does discover one, a "49-Mile Scenic Drive" sign, which doesn't help him or his passengers find out where they are at all.
