ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Roadgeek

Okay, so have you ever gone on a long car ride with your family and noticed all those funny signs on the roads with numbers, letters, and arrows? Well, those are road signs and they are super important for helping drivers get where they need to go safely.

A person who really loves these road signs and everything about roads is called a "roadgeek." They might know all the different names for the parts of a road, like the shoulder, median, and lanes. They might also know how to read maps and figure out the fastest routes to get to different places.

Some roadgeeks also like to collect road signs, maps, and other cool road-related things. They might even take pictures of interesting signs they see while driving around.

Being a roadgeek might sound strange to some people, but it's actually pretty important when it comes to making sure our roads are safe and easy to navigate. So next time you're on a road trip, take a closer look at those signs and remember the roadgeeks who put them there to help you get where you're going!
