Ok, so I know that the milepost signs on state highways that aren't signed in NY have the weird 3di numbers, and thats not what I am focusing on here. What I am confused about is the numbers on the signs. I don't know what they mean. I wanna say that they are just simply mileposts, but the numbers look weird to be miles. Ill post links down below, but I have been confused about this for years and I just wanna know why. Also why do all the milepost signs on interstates have the I after the number, such as 87I, or 90I. Also, just wondering, what do the numbers mean on the 3di unsigned roads? Ill post links down below.

Roads I have clinched- I-84 (MA-CT-NY-PA), I-78 (NY-NJ-PA), I-395 (DC-VA), I-695 (Both DC and NY), I-490 (NY), I 390 (NY), I-787 (NY), I-287 (NY-NJ), I-795 (NC), I-140 (NC), I-295 (Both VA and MD), I-270 (MD), And I am only 13 so I have much more to clinch.

I always liked those little NYS markers.  I look for them whenever I'm driving/riding in the Empire State.  They even have them on urban expressways.
The Washington/Baltimore/Arlington CSA has two Key Bridges, a Minnesota Avenue, and a Mannasota Avenue.
