Hi Britons and Yanks,

If you're new to these newsgroups, you've inevitably heard the word 
'viatology' mentioned.  So what is it?  Viatology is the scientific study of 
roads.  This can include discussion of motorway pavement, high-capacity 
roundabouts, international traffic-flow and overhead signage, or anything 
relevant that future historians may find credible.  Those who study roads 
are referred to as 'viatologists'.

For more on viatology, including its etymology and practise, please refer to 
http://wwtl.info/viatology.html . To help legitimise viatology as a science 
and enter it into scholastic and research environments, simply report 
factual details of the roads you find most interesting.  With your help, 
viatology can enter mainstream study!

Cheers,

Carl Rogers

Hello Steve, I quite agree. I haven't been in these parts for a while, but 
I'm glad to see you still snapping at the idiots.

It's a hard job, but someone has to do it.

How are tricks?
