In 2002, the ''[[St. Louis Post-Dispatch]]'' reported that road enthusiasm was an Internet phenomenon. There is a [[Usenet]] newsgroup, misc.transport.road, where participants discuss all facets of roads and road trips from "construction projects to quirks and inconsistencies in signage".<ref name=Lamb/> Those who await each  annual [[Rand McNally]] road atlas release found a community of others online who were also interested in roads as a hobby. These communities of people could share photos, swap their thoughts on the highways in their areas and "debate the finer points of interchange design".<ref name=Lamb>{{cite news |last=Lamb |first=William |date=September 22, 2002 |title='Road geeks' ramp up their hobby on the information superhighway |pages=C1, [https://www.newspapers.com/clip/45824021/road-geeks-part-2/ C5] |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/45823957/road-geeks-ramp-up-their-hobby-on-the/ |work=[[St. Louis Post-Dispatch]] |access-date=February 28, 2020}} {{free access}}</ref>

===Taiwan websites===
In 2006, a board called "Road" ({{lang-zh|公路板}}) in the [[PTT Bulletin Board System]], which is a Taiwanese forum, was established.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Road/M.1147757235.A.5C7.html|script-title=zh:公告 公路板開了~ |language= zh |publisher=Road board of [[PTT Bulletin Board System]] |access-date= September 30, 2011}}</ref> Because some Taiwanese road enthusiasts didn't know how to use a [[terminal emulator|terminal]] or [[bulletin board system|BBS]] reader to access it, the web forum ''Taiwan Highway Club'' ({{lang-zh|公路邦}}; literally, "Highway State") was started in 2008.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Road/M.1200406345.A.69F.html|script-title=zh:【公路邦】成立 |language= zh |publisher=Road board of [[PTT Bulletin Board System]] |access-date= September 30, 2011}}{{in lang|zh-tw}}</ref> It contains subforums where users discuss road policies and post highway news and images.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://road.club.pixnet.net/forum |title=公路邦 > 討論區首頁 |access-date=September 30, 2011 |publisher=公路邦 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110904021116/http://road.club.pixnet.net/forum |archive-date=September 4, 2011 }}</ref>
