NC has accurate mile markers on I40, I95, and many major NC highways. They are they're there to assist highway crews and the NCHP. Our exits are also numbered, exit 189 is 189 miles from the border, or where the highway begins. "Roger that...another huge SUV rolled over at mile marker 243...same as yesterday, 10-4" G.

The sweep I think we'll have to go to BC for that. Most I've ever seen in US is a single measured mile with no warning ahead of time. OTOH, some places (New York and New Jersey for example) put a small numbered marker *every tenth* of a mile on the interstates -- pretty easy to spot a flier with that much data. Rhode Island has no mile markers that I know of -- Massachusetts has them in theory but they don't replace them when they go missing. david David Beierl - Providence, RI http://pws.prserv.net/synergy/Vanagon/ '84 Westy "Dutiful Passage" '85 GL "Poor Relation" |
