What is a road trip?

You regularly hear about it in travellers’ stories, in movies, and even in the songs you like. But do you know exactly what a road trip is? What defines it, what are the essential elements, and how to prepare it? Don’t wait any longer, come and find all the answers to your questions in our article dedicated to road trip. So, are you ready for the adventure?

Road trip definition

The expression contains two important words: “road”, and “trip”. We could therefore say that it simply means a journey that takes place mainly on the road. This is true, but it is also much more than that.

The duration

When we talk about road trips, there’s a notion of a fairly long duration. Indeed, leaving Paris to go to the sea for 2 days is not a road trip. There is no precise time, but let’s say that you still have to drive a long distance and see the landscape. Moreover, the road trip is often associated with the crossing of the United States by the mythical Route 66. This is an excellent example that shows the changes of settings, the long hours of driving in the monotonous plains, and all the adventures that this can bring.

In fact, road trips existe since the construction of the first roads. In those days, they were called pilgrimages, but they were a form of travel on the road. Nowadays, most people prefer to talk about “road trip” when a crossing is made with a motor vehicle. Long distances travelled by bicycle, on the other hand, are more properly classified as bicycle tourism. But since there is no precise definition, everyone is free to have his or her own opinion.

On the other hand, people agree on the style of the trip. Indeed, road trippers like to travel in an alternative way, away from organised tours and all-inclusive hotels. They don’t always know where they will sleep, what they will see, or even when they will stop. But one thing is for sure: they all love the feeling of freedom provided by the noise of the engine on the asphalt, and the unexpected events that will punctuate the journey. Because the goal of the road trip is not the destination, but the journey itself.

The essential elements of a road trip

For a good road trip, you need a road. It’s up to you to see if you like it winding, snowy, straight, foreign, far away… Anything is possible. The world is strewn with roads of all kinds, so do your research and go for it!

The vehicle

You will also need a vehicle. Here again, there are many possibilities. The purists will of course take a van fitted out like the mythical Volkswagen Combi. But there’s no shame in driving a simpler vehicle, such as your own car, or a rental car. If you can afford it, the motor-home is also a very practical solution, very popular with older people for the comfort it provides. Finally, thrill-seekers can of course opt for a motorcycle. It’s not the easiest vehicle, as there’s little storage space and the weather has a big influence on driving, but the motorcycle is definitely the most exhilarating.

The itinerary

Now that you have the main road and the vehicle, you need to prepare your trip to a minimum by establishing stopping points and places to sleep. With a converted van or a motor-home, the answer is more obvious, but you will still need to find authorised parking spaces or campsites. With a car or a motorcycle, you will need to anticipate your nights according to the weather conditions. If the weather is nice and warm, a hammock or a tent is enough to sleep under the stars. On the other hand, when it starts to get cold and wet, it is better to have a reliable place to stay, such as a motel or youth hostel.

All you need to do now is grab a bag with a few things in it, and that’s it! A road trip is above all a simple trip, during which you hit the road just for the pleasure of getting away. So don’t think too much, and let the road trip take you away.

English vocabulary for a road trip

YouTube video

Learn more about the Vocabulary Builder Course Hello students! I’ve just gotten back from a road trip with my family – that’s a long trip taken by car – and I’m going to use this opportunity to teach you some vocabulary for driving and traveling by car.

To learn more vocabulary that’s organized by topic, you can join my Vocabulary Builder Courses , which will teach you hundreds of useful words.

We left early in the morning because we had already packed our bags the night before. To pack your bags means to put everything you’ll need for the trip (clothes, personal care items, etc.) into a suitcase or backpack.

Most of our trip was on the highway. A highway is a wide road where cars are allowed to go very fast. Highways have multiple lanes – a lane is a section of the road wide enough for one car.

English vocabulary for a road trip Espresso English

Most highways have multiple lanes, which are separated by painted lines on the road.

In the first part of our road trip, we were making good time. This expression means that the trip is going well, without delays.

Of course, we didn’t want to drive too fast, because then we might get a speeding ticket. That’s when the police catch you driving faster than the limit, and you have to pay some money as a penalty.

When we crossed a bridge, we had to pay a toll. A toll is money that all drivers have to pay in order to drive on that part of the highway, bridge, or tunnel.

English vocabulary for a road trip Espresso English

Drivers may need to pay a toll for use of the highway, bridge, or tunnel.

We stopped at rest areas or rest stops several times during the road trip. These are places next to the highway where you can take a break from driving, use the bathroom, and sometimes get food or gas.

Later in the trip we encountered bumper-to-bumper traffic. This expression describes when the traffic is extremely slow and almost stopped. The “bumper” of the car is the metal and plastic bar on the front/back of the car, which helps absorb the impact in case of an accident. If the traffic is “bumper-to-bumper,” it means the cars are traveling so slowly that their bumpers are almost touching.

English vocabulary for a road trip Espresso English

The reason for the bad traffic was an accident – a truck had hit a pothole in the road and lost control. A pothole is a hole in the surface of the road. Potholes are dangerous for drivers.

English vocabulary for a road trip Espresso English

The truck and emergency vehicles were blocking two lanes, so all the rest of the cars had to merge into one lane. When talking about traffic, merge refers to when cars from a lane need to transition sideways into another lane (usually because the first lane is ending).

English vocabulary for a road trip Espresso English

In the U.S., this sign indicates a merge

Unfortunately we got a little lost when we got close to our destination. We took the wrong exit out of a roundabout – that’s a traffic circle with various streets going in and out of it.

English vocabulary for a road trip Espresso English

A roundabout has various entrances and exits. Cars only go in one direction around the circle.

Then, when we finally got back on the right road, there was a detour due to construction – that’s when the cars need to take a different way because the main road is blocked for some reason.

English vocabulary for a road trip Espresso English

By the time arrived, it was dark outside, so we had to turn on our headlights – those are the bright white lights on the front of the car.

English vocabulary for a road trip Espresso English

Our friends’ house was on a one-way street – a street where traffic can only go in one direction – so we had to be careful not to pass it.

English vocabulary for a road trip Espresso English

If we passed their house, we would have to go around the block. The noun “block” is used to refer to a segment of a street between two other streets. We reached our friends’ house safely after the long road trip.

I hope you’ll continue learning vocabulary with me inside my courses!

Test your understanding of this English lesson

135 comments.

Thank you Mr.Adam I got a lot of new words from this video-lesson. I just wanna try to use these words while I am driving. :)

' src=

Hi Adam, how’ve you been? Long tine no see.

Road trips sound interesting, however . . . how safe are the roads in Canada Adam?

If all of the sudden you find yourself in the middle of nowhere and see a vehicle approaching . . . are you sure they are going to help you out? I have serious reservations about it.

Just one observation Adam, as far as I know GPS stands for Global Positioning SYSTEM not satelite.

Thanks for this supeb video-lesson Adam. Have a great weekend!

' src=

Long time indeed ;)

Firstly, I believe that Canadians would actually stop and help you out. At least, I’d like to think so.

As for GPS, you’re right. Actually , it’s global positioning satellite system. Not sure why I tend to drop the system not the satellite. Anyway, good point.

' src=

Now we are ready hit the road.Thanks

' src=

Great lesson. Thanks, Adam.

' src=

You’re simply the best. I’m always looking for your new lessons. Thanks, Adam.

' src=

I finished the test with the best mark. Now im loking formard for you next video. Hello from Ukraine :))

' src=

ohh i’m very sory

' src=

Thank you so much for giving me the English lesson.

' src=

I want to know how to learn english at this? I don’t see the video, where is it?

' src=

Hi there! According to your profile you’re in China. All our videos are on YouTube, which is blocked there. You may have to use a VPN or find a mirror to watch the videos.

' src=

ok,I konw,thanks

Hi Adam,good job!I wanna ask you an extra question, if we can write the “to do something” after ANY transitive verb with an objective.Such as “I VT somebody TO DO SOMETHING”(VT here means a transitive verb). I am very looking forward to your reply.Thanks.

' src=

Hi Patrick,

You can use ‘to do something’ as a complement to the direct object or as an object itself to the transitive verb.

I need to call my mother.(object) I need you to call my mother. (complement to object ‘you’)

Does this help?

Thanks Adam, but I’ve known that.I might not make myself clear,so I try to explain what really confuses me a lot now-does the usage you described above apply to all the transitive verbs? That is to say,can “to do sth” be any transitive verb’s direct object? not just a few words like”want,need,hope,etc”. If it can,I think I can compose compositions more freely and boldly and do not be afraid to make any mistakes in the use of to do sth.

Not really. Sometimes adding ‘to do or to do something’ changes the transitive to an intransitive:

I play tennis.–tennis is a direct object to play.

I play to win (contests).–to win is an adverb complement to play (how I play, not what I play)

Thank you Adam!It helps me a lot! I like your lessons so much that I’ve almost watched all of your lessons.Whenever you posted a new lesson I would watch it with my full attention.Your accent is so standard and is very clear so I can understand what you said.

I truly believe this is a pragmatic lesson for all those who are planning to go on road trips, whereas, I’m from a small island in the Caribbean and usually we are completely careless about those good advices. I love you Adam! Thanks!

' src=

Thanks a lot, Mr.Adam , very useful lesson, full of the new vocabularies. but, if you don’t mind Sir, would you make a lesson about the ” Tourism” and the words and vocabulary that we need to know. Thank you again, Sir.Adam, and we always appreciate your effort.

' src=

I’ll see what I can do, Antar. In the meantime, look for the search button on this site and type the word ‘travel’–you will see a few good videos here already about this topic.

Thanks, Adam

' src=

Scenic route is always the best choice when we have time.It’s the less boring:) Thanks Adam for this useful lesson.

' src=

Hi Adam! nice lesson! thanks. You made me travel in imaginary. My longest road trip was in California, I drove more than 1600 km part of them on the scenic route 1.

' src=

I’d love to take that trip someday Jorge. On a motorcycle maybe :)

“L/100km” will be more correct.

' src=

In the US they might not understand you Happyman ;)

Very useful and complete explanation about road trips in English, very entertained and amused, we can imagine us traveling a long journey or long haul trip between two cities in a big country or continent. Very interesting lesson overall for the people who even work as professional drivers too, very interesting class. Thanks a lot, teacher Adam, we are learning and enjoying the English as if it was our own main or first language.

' src=

Thank you very much Adam for this useful lesson for me . I have a RV an I love to travel with my family around Europe. But I thought that these vehicles were called also motorhome . Might have more names depending if we are in UK or America ? Here we have also small vans , called ” camper ” in Spain with kitchen and beds . I don’t know if these vehicles exist also in America and how does it called .

' src=

Good point, Cascoxa. We have these names as well, but less commonly used. regional word choice does make a difference indeed.

Thank you! I found many new words such as “itinerary”, as I understood it means the same thet “route”. Probably few people knew such word as “wheat”. The most importante that if you are interesting while you are lisening it will have result. I went to such trip every year with my wife or friends, in one or two cars, it was inside of Ukraine from Kiev to Krimea until Russia invaded to this part of my country. The distance is about 1000 km, climate is warmer, other view, mountains, sea and good time with close friends, it was olways full of fun.

' src=

Thanks, Adam.

' src=

Good lesson. Thank you very much.

' src=

Perfect Adam and, perhaps one day, you’ll talk about your bad experience on a road trip. A road trip across the Canada should be a very interesting souvenir. Thank you

' src=

So many new words. Thank you, Adam.

' src=

Thanks Adam it’s very nice lesson, appreciated

' src=

Hello people

I need someone to practise, so if anybody has an interest to do it with me pleasw text me on whatsApp is +249916107878

100%=) It’s very useful lesson. Thank you Adam.

' src=

Only once, I’ve got caught for speeding. Of course there was a fxxxxx speed trap. Police is so evil that I hate it. It cost me 15,000 yen (approximately 150 dollars). It was totally ridiculous. So I no longer drive too fast since then, and am trying not to get caught for it.

' src=

Probably safer for you too, Juneriver ;)

100 … thank you Adam

' src=

Adam, regarding Recreational Vehical, can I call them as motor-home?

' src=

Yes, you can, Dudurito.

hi, vocab videos like this one are really great for learners. but it would be better if you add the words and phrases that in the video. and maybe add to memrise.com too. it would be greater :D

' src=

I’ll pass this on to the administrators Angelsdemos ;)

Thanks a lot Adam!!!Very interesting lesson. Just one question: how much is one litre of the most used petrol by cars in Canada??

' src=

Hi Knopfler,

Do you mean the price? Today, 1 liter of regular unleaded gas is C$1.15. (87 octane)

Thank you so much Adam)

' src=

Thank you so much!!

' src=

I definitely agree with you, Adam, because enjoying a long and pleasant road trip, driving my car, is surely the best way of travelling that I know. We don’t have the (almost) infinite distances that you have in Canada, but consider that Italy is almost 2.000 kilometers long from the Alps to the extreme South; and, moreover, from here we can reach by car distant countries like Greece, Turkey, Spain, Portugal, the scandinavian peninsula and more. Greetings from Europe,ciao!

' src=

I would love to do a road trip in Europe, Canardo. Maybe some day :)

I got 80.☺ Great topic you have picked adam. Thanks.

Thank you! I really enjoyed.

thanks adam ☺

Thanks a lot! Mr. Adam Your lesson very useful. We found many new vocabularies here especially to me as learner. As far as I concerned, MPG depend on brand of cars exactly asia cars difference Europa cars to need consumtion of petrol.

In the US they us imperial measures. Most of the rest of the world uses metric (L/100km). Good to know both.

Thanks,very interesting lesson

Good luck in your goals )

Thank you Mr. Adam !

Hi Mr. Adam. I like your video. Now I know more new words. It’s great.

' src=

Great lesson, Adam! I’ve got a question what is the difference between carpool lane and hov lane? And what is the reason for having those lanes? What does it influence? Thank you!

' src=

Hi Polluxtroi,

Essentially, they are the same. Both are reserved for cars that carry two or more passengers. The idea is to discourage single-user car use (only driver) and thereby reduce emissions and traffic congestion.

Thank you Adam.

Hi Adam,good job!I wanna ask you an extra question, if we can write the “to do something” after ANY transitive verb with an objective.Such as “I VT somebody TO DO SOMETHING”(VT here means a transitive verb). I am very looking forward to your reply.Thanks.

Thank you teacher for such great informative lesson, It was amazing cause there wasn’t any grammar,this clause and that clause in it, rather I would say you should teach only conversation and not the grammar because once we learn the language we will automatically learn its grammar like the natives do,don’t you think? Its been long since I have been learning this language but I couldn’t yet get a hold on it because when ever I try to speak it I get confused with the grammar rules and that affects my fluency and because of that I recently lost an opportunity of getting job at the American consulate…so sad.Teacher please help me and guide me how I can improve my English speaking skills without getting involved in the grammar.And please do tell me about my writing level I mean what do you think my English writing level is? Is it beginner or even more worst.I didn’t even dare apply for the job because they asked for speaking, writing and reading level of the language while I don’t even know what my level really is.I am so disappointed teacher cause there are no good English teaching institutions in my country whatever I have learnt so far is with my own hard work but am still unable to speak the language fluently and there for unable to get a good job at a good organisation despite all skills and abilities I have.I need your detailed guidance.here is my email address : [email protected]

' src=

Hi Eichi (nice pic lol)

Actually, your English writing is quite good. And you’re right, too much focus on grammar often takes away from students’ fluency in spoken English. As for writing, it is essential to know the grammar rules.

If you want to know your “official” level, you can take a test, such as the Cambridge tests, or the IELTS.

Ideally, you need to find someone to practice speaking with. You can also listen to interviews and take the part of the interviewee and try to mimic his or her responses; pay attention to intonation, pace, stress, etc. If you can find transcripts and follow along the first time then repeat, that might work.

Thanks Adam. It’s easy to understand in this section for an non-native English speaker.

' src=

Thanks Adam. That reminds me my road trip experience in AU.

' src=

Hi Adam .I have been listening to your YouTubes for a long time. I got your lesson about the adjective and noun clause. I have also been reading a novel and from that I found the following sentence which I can not recognize if it is adec

' src=

……if it is adjective or noun clause. . It was like that was so imamazing Could you please explain it and where is the conjunction here

To be honest, I’m not sure what this sentence is saying to be honest. Can you give the sentence or a couple of sentences before it as well?

Thanks everyone,

Just a quick note (thanks to Regino for pointing it out): GPS is global positioning satellite system. Not sure why I tend to drop the system not the satellite (global positioning system). Anyway, keep the system, drop the satellite if you want ;).

Hi Adam and thanks for replying “The night before, she had freaked when Muhammad Ali, who was cumming out of retirement to try to become the first four-time world heavyweight Champion, was beaten convincingly by the current champ Larry Holmes.It was like that was symbolic.” the last sentence I asked you about. and I have another confusion sentence I will ask: “i was so glad Id tolerated those Teddy Kennedy posters on my Jeep and that I had not make an issue about my own political opinions.Because for the first time, I felt that I really, truly had a partner.” before these two sentences the author had told how the mentioned man has attracted his partner. and the question is about the second sentence I think there “Because” should be completed with extra sentence. It does make scene but the structure does not convince me. Thanks for your patient. Ali

You need to keep in mind that in creative writing, authors have more license to play with the grammar. The writer in this case separated the ‘because’ clause as its own sentence because he/she wanted to emphasize this point (for the first time). In this example the ‘because’ can even be left out.

you mentioned in the noun clause lesson about type of clause comes after the adjective working as adjective complement and it called noun clause as well. but in the lesson of dependent clause you mentioned to cause called that clause and you separated it as a dependent clause different from noun clause. That a bit confused me could you please explain it.I am too greedy in learning as I know all the lessons is free.

I separated it to make it less confusing. I wanted noun clauses to be thought of as objects or subjects, so I made it a complement on its own. It is technically a noun clause but can be used in many situations other than subject or object.

I ,herein, have to mention that I learned from engvid more than I learned from log term curse I had taken. The way you explain is the thing Ive gotten familiar with.So I do not like to ask some body else to address my weakness in English to avoid any confusion.

No worries ;)

appreciate friend.

Thank you Adam! a very nice lesson.

Adam, you tell of it very well . But still need to have a fire extinguisher (to fend off wild animals), a good book (to make smart look, when the rescures will find me) and a shovel (of course, if i will decide to dig a den in the snow). :)) No :)) these things for the other targets/ and i am not crazy))

good lesson thanks Adam

Great lesson with lot of vocabulary! As I live in Poland I’m familiar with speed traps, polish police loves to catch innocent people and they are always in need of money so.. I’ve never heard about HOV lane, and I doubt we have sth like that in our country, for me it even sounds weird. Canada must be beautiful, I would love to hit the road in Toronto and go to Vancouver, it must be great. Anyway GO GO Raptors! Thanks for the video

Summer… August, 17-18 PM… Good car, no grinding, no bumps, shocks do their work, soft rumbling of the Engine… 120 km/h, Long straight road ahead, the forest on the both sides, the Sun is slightly beneath the tops of the trees, it’s rays slightly touching the road surface, but give no allusion of the heat… gentle music, a dog on the rear seat, a good rifle on the front… full tank of gas and in an hour you will be in your country house with your family… Ufff :)
