Title: Highways with multiple sets of mile markers
Post by: Ben114 on January 01, 2019, 11:36:24 AM
As this has been discussed in Mass. Route 146 (Northeast), Rhode Island Route 146 is weird in which it has mile markers southbound starting at the MA border and northbound starting at I-95 in Providence.

Wikipedia has the northbound mile markers on their page.

It'll sure be interesting to see what RIDOT does when they get around to numbering the exits along this freeway.

So I guess the question is, are there any other highways with different sets of mile markers in each direction?

There's always the bypass of Mount Pleasant, Iowa, where US 218 (https://goo.gl/maps/2rEoDufWtv92) and US 34 overlap (https://goo.gl/maps/mM3Wpn7n5W82) and separate mile markers are posted for both routes.

I think this happened on another overlap somewhere in Iowa, but I can't recall it at the moment.

This is for each direction having their own mile markers as opposed to a route having multiple resets?

I believe the US 22/322 concurrency in PA has both US 22 and US 322 mileposts along the route.

For several years, the combined section of US 10 and WI 441 here in the Appleton, WI area had posts for both US 10 and WI 441 on the same road.  The interchanges on the combined part were numbered for US 10.

The US 13/US 50 concurrency in Maryland has mile markers for each route.

I understood it to be "each direction has a completely different set", as opposed to "both directions have two identical sets".

Although such is a temporary situation, the PA side of the Delaware River Bridge has mile markers for both the PA Turnpike (358-359) and I-95 (42-43) alongside each other in a few spots.

Yes this thread should be retitiled. OP is talking about roads that have mile markers counting opposite ways in each direction. IE the northbound MMs start in the south and the southbound MMs start in the north

That's what I thought. I can safely omit any Oregon examples then :)

Now that's weird. Would love to see photographic evidence of such a phenomenon.

I browsed though my photos from 2016 on that route, and sure enough the markers are off by several miles. "Jump" across the street to see an example on RI 146:

https://www.google.com/maps/@41.95401,-71.4880362,3a,50.7y,143.39h,88.89t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sbEdiq9UQzsRCu3IPuZN1Ig!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

Not quite the same, but US 43 in Alabama features a break in numbering (adding 500 to the posted number), due to construction of a bypass which added mileage. So did Indiana for I-69, which added 200 to some of the numbers, because it isn't yet completed.

Does Interstate 19 Count with KM and MM

Not sure if it's still true today, but until the 1980s at least, the MA-53/139 concurrency had markers for 53 along the north/westbound lane, and markers for 139 along the south/eastbound lane.

Sometimes this happens in MN, too...in this case, they will designate which highway the mile marker is for with a little sign above the marker.

Which reminds me... MN-36 in Stillwater east of the CSAH 5/15 exit still carries mile markers for the long defunct MN-212 as of a couple weeks ago.

The remaining portion of MN-5 east of St. Paul still has that too.
