Here in the USA, highways commonly have signs stating the distance to
the next major town. Are such distance signs no longer used in Australia?
In Germany these signs exist, but the distances refer to different
locations.
The sign located at the town border shows the next town's/villages name
(along the street) and a distance to the mentioned town. This distance
is the distance along the street up to the point where you enter the
other town.
A sign in the middle of a road or inside a town, referring to another
town or city in contrast AFAIK refers to "the center" of that city -
whatever that is.
