Highway marker

Okay kiddo, so have you ever been in a car and seen those big signs with numbers and letters on them that are next to the road? Those are called highway markers!

They help drivers know where they are and how far they have to go to get to their destination.

The numbers usually tell you what highway you are on, and the letters can show you which direction you are going. For example, if you see a sign that says "I-95 North," that means you are on Interstate 95 and you are heading in a north direction.

These markers are really important because they help you plan your trip and stay on the right path. So next time you're in the car, keep an eye out for those helpful highway markers!
