What is viatology?
You may have come across the term 'viatology' in these newsgroups.
But what does it mean? In its simplest definition, viatology is the scientific study of roads. Using the scientific method to measure roadways and roadway apparatus, one can better understand a widely-used transportation medium on all inhabited continents. Some examples of viatological study include the exit-numbering assignments, carriageway shoulder widths, lane designations, etc. The term viatology derives from one of the earliest and most famous roads, the Via Appia (English: Appian Way).
