mile marker
Roadside distance sign
A mile marker is a sign along a road or highway indicating the distance in miles from a reference point—usually a state border, county line, or the route's starting point.
Mile markers help travelers gauge progress and locate themselves: The accident happened near mile marker 47.
Emergency services use them to pinpoint locations on long stretches of highway.
