We have such addresses in Germany too. They are pretty rare though.
sometimes really rural mobile masts or copper distribution
street cabinets and stuff carry addresses like this.
As they are rare they are either not at all in public records or
with manipulating the km marker into the Housenumber. Typically
addresses in Germany are only granted for lots and houses and
telecoms infrastructure is often in public space so no addresses.
I have seen addresses in Telecoms records like "An der Bundesstraße,
Km 4,4".

So you propose to put the address on the Milestone or on the housing
which uses this Address?
