Don't assume that highway mile markers are placed at intervals of exactly one mile. Ever wonder what happens to the existing mile markers when the roadway is reconstructed, resulting in a longer or shorter route? Here's a hint - they don't dig up all the mile markers after the revised portion of the road and replace them. Take it from someone who has 35 years of road construction experience - the mile markers are not all a mile apart. They were never intended to be a precise measurement.
