roadgeek
A roadgeek (from ''road'' + ''geek'') is an individual involved in "roadgeeking" or "road enthusiasm"—an interest in roads, and especially going on road trips, as a hobby. A person with such an interest is also referred to as a road enthusiast, road buff, roadfan or Roads Scholar, the latter being a play on the term Rhodes Scholar.

Roadgeeks view their interest as an appreciation of engineering and planning feats:
However roadgeeks are not necessarily interested in motor vehicles;〔 there may also be an interest in cartography and map design. Enthusiasts may focus on a single activity related to roads, such as driving the full length of the highway system in a specific area, researching the history, planning and quirks of a particular road or national highway system. They occasionally are quoted in the press on topics related to the history of roads. Sometimes, road geeks are called "highway historians" for the knowledge and interests.
Even the numbering system can be a subject of deep interest, as Joe Moran describes in his book "On Roads: A Hidden History":
