34. Location marker
A location marker is a roadside reference showing a measured position along a road. It normally identifies a kilometre, mile or smaller interval measured from an established starting point on that route.
Kilometre and hectometre markers help road users, emergency services, road authorities and maintenance crews identify an exact section of road. They do not impose a speed limit, priority rule or access restriction.

What does a roadside location marker tell you in Russia?
Where used, a roadside reference marker gives a measured position along a particular road, usually as a kilometre or other chainage reference. Designs and units are determined by the local road authority; the number is not automatically a distance to the next destination.
How can a location marker help in an emergency in Russia?
If you can see a marker safely, give the emergency operator the route number or road name, travel direction and marker reading. Additional landmarks, exits and GPS position can help. Do not leave a safe place or enter traffic to read a post.
Does a location marker set a speed limit or permit stopping in Russia?
No. A location marker is for orientation and road management; it does not itself set a speed limit, change priority or permit parking. Follow the actual traffic signs and stop only where the law and safety allow.
