What is a "reassurance marker"?
A reassurance marker is a road sign used to confirm the driver's current location or route. It typically appears after an intersection or a change in direction to reassure drivers they are still on the right path. These markers often show mile or kilometer numbers, indicating the distance to a specific destination. The purpose of a reassurance marker is to provide drivers with confidence that they are heading in the correct direction, especially on highways or unfamiliar roads.
Examples
When driving on unfamiliar roads, reassurance markers help drivers stay on the correct path.
Reassurance markers are typically placed at intervals to assure travelers they are heading the right way.
