Mileposting

Nevada uses the white, California-style milepost in place of the green on white signs found throughout the rest of the country. These markers indicate the county name, the route number, and the type of route. The markers are used on interstate highways in Nevada in addition to the typical Interstate green-and-white mileposts. The numbers for the white markers are reset at each county line. Although California refers to these as “postmile markers,” Nevada refers to their version as “mileposts.”

Each Nevada milepost has an abbreviation indicating the class of the route: “IR” for Interstate, “US” for U.S. routes, and “SR” for all state routes. Occasionally these markers are the only indication that a road is maintained by the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT).

Nevada uses two-letter abbreviations while California uses three letters. The following is a list of all two-digit county codes for Nevada Mileposts. These abbreviations are also used in the State Route Lists.:

  • CC – Carson City
  • CH – Churchill County
  • CL – Clark County
  • DO – Douglas County
  • EL – Elko County
  • ES – Esmeralda County
  • EU – Eureka County
  • HU – Humboldt County
  • LA – Lander County
  • LN – Lincoln County
  • LY – Lyon County
  • MI – Mineral County
  • NY – Nye County
  • PE – Pershing County
  • ST – Storey County
  • WA – Washoe County
  • WP – White Pine County
