Surely many have noticed small blue signs with numbers along the roads. But have you ever wondered what exactly these numbers mean?
This was reported by “URA-Inform” with reference to Glavred.
According to information from the State Agency restoration and development of the infrastructure of Ukraine, such signs are called information and indication kilometer signs. They show the distance from the beginning of the road and are an important element for orientation.
These signs are often used to determine the location of objects, as well as in emergency situations, in case of an accident or road repair work. For example, if you see a sign with the number 45 on the M-01 Kyiv – Chernigov – Novi Yarilovichi highway (in the direction of Gomel), this means that you are 45 kilometers from Kyiv, near the village of Zalesye in the Brovarsky district. p>
Now, if someone asks what the blue numbered signs on the road mean, you can explain that it is the “Kilometer sign” (5.68), which indicates the distance from the starting point of the road (a settlement, a state border, the junction with another route or other object specified in the road passport) to the current location.
Recall that earlier it was reported about “Suicide Houses”: what is known about them, and how people live on the edge (photo).
