You are driving on a Florida interstate and pass a mile marker sign. According to the manual, what do the mile markers correspond to?
-
A.
The distance to the next county line
-
B.
The posted speed limit for that stretch
-
C.
The exit numbers along the interstate Correct
-
D.
The current route or highway number
The answer is "The exit numbers along the interstate"
Florida interstate mile markers show your location and match the interstate's exit numbers, so exit 210 sits near mile 210. Drivers who pick 'speed limits' are borrowing from the small speed plates posted along construction shoulders rather than reading the mile-marker rule the manual states.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. The distance to the next county line
Mile markers do not track county boundaries. This answer recalls the county-boundary signs seen on rural interstates and ties them to mile markers by mistake.
B. The posted speed limit for that stretch
Speed limits are set by regulatory speed-limit signs, not by mile markers. This answer confuses mile-marker signs with the small speed plates posted along construction and work zones.
D. The current route or highway number
Route numbers appear on shield-shaped route markers, not on mile markers. This answer merges the mile-marker sign with the shield-shaped route marker also posted along the interstate.
