California Postmile - States With Similar Reference Markers

States With Similar Reference Markers

The states of Nevada and Ohio use reference markers very similar to California's postmile markers. Like California, these two states record mileages through individual counties in their respective route logs. Ohio's system is nearly identical to California's with its reference markers listing the route number, 3-letter county abbreviation, and mileage through the county. The Nevada system is also similar, utilizing 2-letter county abbreviations. However, Ohio uses standard mileposts in addition to reference markers on freeways, while Nevada uses mileposts in conjunction with postmile panels on major Interstate highways only. Also, all non-Interstates in Illinois have markers showing mileage from the western or southern border of the county.
