What is a roadgeek? What kinds of things do roadgeeks do?

There isn't really any one definition that would (or could apply).

[Zeffy]

Here's what I think: Any person that has an extended interest in any of the following topics:

• Roads
• Planning of (future) roads
• Road signs
• Roadway features (delineation, intersection design, etc.)
• Numbered highway systems (US Highways, Interstate Highways, etc.)
• Traffic signaling devices
• History of old roads

There's definitely more than what I listed here, but this is how I would describe the term 'roadgeek' (at least lightly). There are definitions of 'Road Enthusiasm' on Wikipedia, which is basically synonymous with roadgeek.
