What this tracks
This dataset records the locations of reference posts along Nebraska’s state highways, showing mile markers and their corresponding route identifiers.
Why it matters to you
When reporting a highway issue like debris, potholes, or an accident to Nebraska DOT, knowing the exact mile marker helps emergency crews locate you faster. Truckers and travelers can also use these markers to track their progress or estimate distances between exits — critical when planning fuel stops or rest breaks on long stretches like I-80.
How to read this data
RouteID — The highway number (e.g., “002” for US-2).
RefPost — The physical mile marker number (e.g., “506.0” for the 506-mile point).
LogMile — The precise engineering measurement of location (e.g., “505.57” means 505.57 miles from the route’s start point).
