Some portions of US 49 through Yazoo County, MS, has mile markers. I'm sure I've seen mile markers on other non-interstates before, but can't recall right off.

Michigan has standard white-on-green milemarkers on US-131, US-127, M-39, M-10, M-14, and US-23.
IIRC, Indiana has them as well on US-31 and US-20, and IN-912.
Illinois does not.  Instead, Illinois uses their circular postmile-type markers.  However, when the East-West Tollway (I-88) was IL-5, it did have standard milemarkers, IIRC, marked from the beginning of IL-5, a bit west of the end of current I-88.
I also recall Wisconsin using standard milemarkers (US-51 and US-41 come to mind).

New Jersey puts mile markers on all Interstates, U.S., state, and county highways.

US 62, an expressway, has standard mile markers in southwestern Oklahoma, particularly between Altus and Lawton. Strange because Oklahoma typically doesn't post mile markers on anything but Interstates.

Kansas seems to post mini mile markers on all highways.

Nebraska posts mile markers on all state highways, although the markers on non-interstates are smaller in size than the ones on interstates.

US 41, SR 62 and SR 66 in the Evansville area has the blue ITS milemarkers in addition.

Connecticut seems to only have them on state routes if they're expressways, such as CT Route 9 from Old Saybrook to Farmington (MM 40 is right at the end, as the road splits for I-84/US 6 East (Exit 31) and West (Exit 32).

Louisiana puts them on the state and US highways, but strangely enough, only in one direction. I think mile markers are getting more expensive to place, especially with the new tradition of pouring concrete before placing the sign

MA is a fan of them sporadically on surface US highways and major state routes.  MA is VERY consistent w/ them on all expressways regardless of status as Interstate, US highway, or State Route.

I've only seen them on two non-Interstates over here, and maybe only one or two on the routes as well - one on LA 21 near Angie, and another on US 190 west of Covington.

It definitely is not consistent in Indiana. Existing US 31 around Kokomo which is not a freeway also has the blue enhanced (.2 miles) mile markers. According to online plans, US 31 Hamilton County will also have these.

The new US 31 Kokomo and US 24 freeways have the standard green ones - I believe the INDOT standard is every half mile for freeways. I haven't seen the plans online for US 31 Plymouth to South Bend, but I assume it will be the same there.  SR 25 expressway plans show them every mile.

Every state highway in Indiana has the small blue ones with "0" being south and west.

State highways in Georgia have them, but the reset at every county line.  Also, they are mileage for ONLY state designations.  For example, the independent section of US 301 in Charlton County has its mileposts to the FL Border along GA 23 that is US 301's secret route number there.   GA 23 parts from US 301 at Folkston and head into that section of Georgia that interlocks into Florida along the bend of the St. Mary's River.  Therefore its mileage to the Sunshine State is more than that of US 301, so it fools many when they enter the county from the north.

Only place I have seen mile markers to do this anywhere.

Here in California, the only highway that has the green mile markers is the non-interstate CA-58. I don't remember which county they are in, most likely Kern. All other highways use the white mile markers that measure mileage within a county.

On another note, California does have exit numbers on ALL freeways, which I really appreciate.

Osceola County, FL paints (or used to paint) mile numbers in yellow in the middle of the lane.

NY puts mile markers on all freeways except I-481/NY 481 in Onondaga County.  We also have reference markers on all state-maintained roads that are functionally similar to California's post-mile system.

I believe there are green mile markers on the short segment of US 6 and on some county routes in San Diego County.  IIRC, these mile posts are also somewhat smaller than those used in other states.

Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia and Tennessee post them on state highways, and the markers reset at county lines. Illinois also has a system of mile markers that reset at county lines, and they serve as reassurance markers that tell you the route number and the county you're in.

Tennessee's are unique in that on US routes, they show the hidden state route numbers.

In the process of being posted on I-195 and VA-195.  Only a few on VA-195 so far, but it appears as if the whole route will start mileposting at the downtown I-95/VA-195 interchange, and follow VA-195 onto I-195, and end at the Bryan Park Interchange (I-95/I-64/I-195).

150 and 895 also share mileage, right?
