I think we'll have to go to BC for that.  Most I've ever seen in US is a
single measured mile with no warning ahead of time.

OTOH, some places (New York and New Jersey for example) put a small
numbered marker *every tenth* of a mile on the interstates -- pretty easy
to spot a flier with that much data.  Rhode Island has no mile markers that
I know of -- Massachusetts has them in theory but they don't replace them
when they go missing.
