You Know You're A Roadgeek If...

You Don't complain "Are We there Yet!"

When I fall asleep during a car ride (which is why I don't like sitting in the back), the moment I wake up, I ask one of:

Which town are we in?
Which exit did we just pass? (on freeways only)

You are a roadgeek when your intoxicated passengers accuse you of being a CHP officer because you have a dashboard camera to produce a freewayjim style video.

I've been watching videos of people driving through cities recently. Freewayjim has pretty good videos. I like the time lapse thing he does. It's boring watching a video of someone driving through a city without time lapse.

How about if it's a relatively short video (just the CBD) with narration?

I mute the video most of the time then, I usually open up another window on Youtube and play music while watching the videos.

Well the smartphone I use to shoot road videos has gone deaf, so I won't be doing any more with live narration.

I'm considering making some road videos eventually. I'll have to get better technology and a better car. My car is reliable, but it's very old. I might be able to make some Terre Haute videos eventually. I also need to get better working with computers.

...you can't stand signs from IDOT.
...you might potentially knock over a sign with you car because it looked like crap.
...you become excited on any TV show if they pass a road sign.

...you can't stand signs from IDOT.

That's why some people call it IDiOT.

...you criticize signs with Clearview by saying I hate when it is Clearview! and others are like What's Clearview?

and others are like yawn

...you see a television show about a murder in Cumberland Gap, Tenn., and you look to see if you can spot the "Tenn-US 25E" sign.

How else are you supposed to figure out where they filmed it?

Hollywood prefers that you don't realize that "Maryland" or "Vermont" is actually California...

...also, that you forgo free thought and ride the tropes until the credits.

I am so glad that England looks nothing like Southern California - Austin Powers

P.S.: It didn't, although the front of the post office was shown more than once. (The sign is located adjacent to the post office).

You go to other sites for pictures and humor...and see some of NE2's road sign avatar instead!

[agentsteel53]

that's all good but which way is the truck going?

[Molandfreak]

He's stopping to POO.

Oh. Dexter's on I-395. Again.

...you're writing a program that can let you make road signs in five minutes or less, as if you don't already make road signs in five minutes or less.

And I start going over my maps to determine which Wisconsin county that was shot in.

CSI: Miami has a lot of Miami area BGS when they show shots pertinent to the characters traveling to crime scenes (usually via I-195, US 1, etc.), but apparently it was actually filmed in California.

... you become upset if ... happens near your house.

> a sign is bent
> a sign is vandilized (if you live in a major  city, that will obviously happen at some point, but for other areas)
> a sign is hit and knocked over.
> a sign is removed.
