Driving south on The Alaska Tok Cutoff Highway.

A roadgeek (sometimes roadfan or Roads Scholar) is a person that is interested in roads as a hobby. 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

From the perspective of urban planning, roadfans tend to favor service (capacity)-oriented and classical urban development over transit-centered trends such as New Urbanism and Smart Growth.
