The signs everyone ignores: the kilometer and hectometer progressions
Kilometer and hectometer signs.
Also known as kilometer markers and hectometer markers.
These are fixed signs located along highway (or railway) lines and serve to indicate the precise position in relation to the mileage of the route.
The term "hectometer" derives from the unit of measurement hectometer, which corresponds to 100 meters. Therefore, a hectometer marker indicates how many hectometers (hundreds of meters) have passed since the beginning of the stretch.
This road sign therefore serves to indicate precisely where you are. This is useful for maintenance, emergencies, or for those who need to report an accident and provide the authorities with the exact location.
In practice, the hectometer marker helps to precisely identify your position along a railway or highway line, without having to rely on external or vague references.
