Do you mean a person whose work in the 1800s focused on roads and transport, or do you mean the kinds of labour/work that were centered on roads and transport in the 1800s?

Quick answer for both interpretations:

- If you mean famous individuals:
- John Loudon McAdam (1756–1836) — developed “macadam” road surfacing (macadamization).
- Thomas Telford (1757–1834) — civil engineer who built roads, canals, bridges and harbours across Britain.
- George Stephenson (1781–1848) — pioneer of steam locomotives and early railways.
- Isambard Kingdom Brunel (1806–1859) — major railway, bridge and steamship projects.

- If you mean types of labour/workers:
- Navvies (manual labourers who built canals, roads and railways)
- Canal workers and boatmen
- Road-builders, stonemasons and pavers
- Coachmen, carriage builders, wheelwrights, blacksmiths
- Early railway workers (track layers, engine drivers, station staff)
