mile post
Roadside distance indicator
A mile post is a marker along a road or trail indicating distance, typically showing miles from a starting point or to a destination.
Highway mile posts help travelers and emergency services pinpoint locations: The accident occurred near mile post 47.
Figuratively, milepost (often one word) marks significant points in any progression: a milepost in her career.
