How The Mile Signs Work :-)

---

The mile markers are placed at the beginning and end of each mile ... NOT in the “center” of the mile.

So, for example, East Jordan is at Mile 12. (See illustration.)

When approaching East Jordan from the west (Atwood), you will see a 12 at the gas station on the corner of C48 & M66 because this is the beginning of Mile 12.  On the other side of this same sign is the 11 mile marker, because if you’re traveling west, you are beginning Mile 11.

Now, continuing east through East Jordan, you will see 13 near the corner of C48 & M32, because this is the beginning of Mile 13.  On the other side of this same sign is the 12 mile marker, because if you’re traveling west, you are beginning Mile 12.
