224 km to Kabul. What a disaster that road/traffic is.

I won't be offended if the powers that be of this thread deem this inappropriate, but since I don't believe we are restricted to km and miles, here's 225 m to Wayne Gretzky Dr. on the TCH 16 in Edmonton.

Photos I post are my own unless otherwise noted.

You're good, IMO.  Rule #3 of thread:
Quote3. In order to avoid conversions between distance units, the order wont be the actual distance, but the number. Because of that; it's possible to post, for example, a picture with a sign marking 3 kilometers (1,86411 miles) after one marking 2 miles (3,21869 km). In other words, you can use any unit you want as long as it's the next number.

When I say "nonstandard", in this case it basically means I'm too lazy to try and find BBC codes to make them.

What do you mean? BBC is the British Broadcasting Corporation, and if you meant BBCode, BBCode can't produce non-ASCII characters using formatting. You need Unicode characters, which have nothing to do with the forum software.

I'm enjoying this distance thread more than the road sign thread, since there is such a variety of places where distance signs can be found.

243 km to Ormara, Pakistan
