Welcome to District Five's Postmile
Book
What is a Postmile Marker?
| A postmile marker is a metal paddle
placed along the state highway. Each marker is stenciled with the route,
county, and postmile at that location.
Listed in miles, postmile values usually increase from south to north or west to east depending upon the general direction the route follows within the state. The postmile values increase from the beginning of a route within a county to the next county line. The postmile values start over again at each county line. Enforcement officers, maintenance forces and others use the postmile markers in the field to locate specific incidents or features with reference to the postmile system. |

For Santa
Cruz County there is generally a difference
between the actual postmile location and the location of the postmile markers
in the field. These postmile markers have been in place since 1964 and
the accident and highway data have been referenced to them. Due to this
long history, the postmile markers will remain unchanged in the field and
continue to be used as in the past.
All the new information and changes will be posted, on the index page, with the change date so you can easily see what’s new and replace your old pages off our web site. This will keep your Postmile Book current without the cost of publication every year. You can also reproduce the whole Postmile Book off the web. The image below is a color cover for your Postmile Book.
