A SUMMARIZED REVIEW OF MILEPOSTING ON STATE MAINTAINED HIGHWAYS IN THE UNITED STATES 1967

TO LOCATE THE SCENE OF ACCIDENTS MORE ACCURATELY, MANY STATES USE MILEPOSTS. THIS PUBLICATION BRINGS TOGETHER A SUMMARY OF INFORMATION ON THE STATES' ACTIVITIES IN MILEPOSTING ROADS, EXCEPT FOR THE INTERSTATE SYSTEM. MILEPOSTING CAN AID IN ROUTING EMERGENCY VEHICLES TO ACCIDENT SCENES AS WELL AS IN KEEPING MORE ACCURATE ACCIDENT STATISTICS. EXCEPT FOR THE INTERSTATE NETWORK, THERE IS NO RECOMMENDED STANDARD MILEPOST SIGN, AND MUCH NON-UNIFORMITY OF SIGNS NOW EXISTS FROM STATE TO STATE. /HSL/
