A 'roadgeek' (sometimes 'roadfan' or 'Roads Scholar', the latter being a play on the term Rhodes Scholar) is a person who is interested in roads as a hobby.[1] Typical roadgeek behaviors include:

★ Taking road trips for the roads rather than the destination (sometimes called 'roadgeeking' or 'Roads Scholaring')

★ Taking photos of road signs or the highways themselves.

★ Collecting old road maps to study the roads.

★ Maintaining web sites dedicated to the road network or highway system in a particular area.
