What type of roadgeek are you?

[hotdogPi]

There are different types of roadgeeks. Some roadgeeks can belong to more than one category. Here is a list of the types I have seen:

Regional Traveler

Travels on many roads within his/her own state/province or sometimes an adjacent state/province, sometimes trying to clinch all numbered routes in his/her home state/province. However, focus is just on a small region of the country.

National Traveler

Travels on many roads around the country. Some have been to every state/province/territory of his/her own country. A few have clinched the Interstate system.

International Traveler

Travels on roads in several countries. Two countries are enough if he/she has been in most regions of both countries.

Signmaker

Is interested in making road signs and evaluating others' road signs. The signs usually are meant to follow the MUTCD.

Poster

Spends much more time on this forum than actually traveling on new roads. This may be because he/she doesn't have a car.

Fictional Highway Maker

Wants new roads built and roads renumbered. Sometimes the proposals are realistic, but some of the ideas are crazy.

Sign Hunter

Loves old signs, especially non-reflective button copy. State-named Interstate shields are also good. Some love erroneous signs, too.

What about that last one?

What, no casual/ lurker option(s)?

[pianocello]

I'd consider myself to be more of a highway history nut, to be honest.

[Zeffy]

Signmaker and a Poster. Maybe a fictional highway maker as well, but that falls into a broader category because I'm more of a city and 'map' maker.

[Pete from Boston]

I obsess over development history.  This is just part of the picture.

[sammi]

Regional, for the GTA obviously. At this point I wouldn't try going north of Newmarket. And when I get back to the Philippines, probably the Baguio and Manila areas.

Signmaker. It's like one of my favorite parts.

And Poster. Duh.

[Takumi]

Regional traveler and sign hunter.

Obviously, and he has two clones.

[sammi]

Who the fuck picked "v*********t"!?!  I thought this was a v*******y-free zone?

Calrog secretly lurks.

Obviously, and he has two clones.

I posted that when there was still only one v*********t.

Why does that word just make me think "Scientologist"?

They mean the same thing.

I don't follow MUTCD due to obvious reasons.
