Not gonna lie, I actually get a Town-read on Road based on his D1. The below is based on something like 5/8ths of his current filter (which leaves us still in D1, interestingly enough).
The only thing I SERIOUSLY disliked were the very first few posts, the OP in particular:

I'm going to look through the first posts now and comment on whatever I think is worth commenting on.
The underlined's the kind of stuff that
really pings me, plus it seemed like road was buddying up to Banks and Doc.
Overall, the word to describe road as a player is clearly 'nice'. Another attribute that sticks out to me is 'wearing one's heart on their sleeve'. Seems like road is legitimately writing up everything he observes of the Thread as he's catching up, and he doesn't try to 'polish' what he's got to say. Like the underlined parts in the post below:

Dont you agree with me?
If I had spent effort in reading up a game on beforehand and taking some kind of (maybe mental) notes, and i turned scum, then I would not use my notes that early to try and villaread one of the guys, that at least some people expect to be one of the best, when he was already under suspicion.
I dont know if im elaborating my thoughts correctly I just found that very villagery..
Another "villapoint" in my eyes is being self-aware that his playing style is different, and not shunning away from that. Like, if road decided at the start of the Round that he's gonna be ballsy enough to draw attention to the fact that he's playing differently
as Mafia, that's... pretty brave I'd say?

But, my read on you: I started out reading you villagery, even though i think your game differ quite a bit from game 3. At least your d1-game. I believe I stated why, but I find your tone, your activity (even though im not weighting this that much), your questioning others, your reads to be villagery. If you want me to be specific I will (but maybe not today lol)
Also I think that exactly putting me on scumlist is villagery of you. Ofc you are suspicious and the uncertainty regarding how you read me, taking game 3 in to consideration is the way i expect villa-Banks to think.
So overall i'm quite confident - for now - that you are villager. And my read really didnt progress that much lol
Next road's first mention of Ratchet:

The rest are neutral for now.
I'm a bit annoyed of not having any lean on fonti, ratchet and Riki as they have all been posting quite a lot. Actually I have had some kind of thought that ratchet are doing the same as coolkid (mafia) in our game 3, but it is not enough to be something I will put as wolfy atm.
I believe I have argued for all of those reads earlier on.
Is this the way road describes his Scumbuddy? My first impression is
'no', but if road seriously elected to draw a
lot of attention to himself as Mafia (by being VERY transparent and even apologetic) I suppose it can't be ruled out, either.

I mean, wolfs would probably open up for other votes, also in my experience wolves are rarely leading the lynch this early on d1, and finally I believe that it is typical villager to not consider their scumreads as maybe being town (and the opposite of their townreads)
fonti is now on my villagerlist
Underlined, once again, showing more of that 'heart-on-a-sleeve' -attitude. While I find the logic used by road flawed here I don't find it flawed in a Scummy way -- unless Mafia!road starts the game by actively trying to paint himself in a corner with too many Town-reads? My impression of road's playertype is that he'd like to leave more options open for himself as Mafia, but I'm not certain.
