[3] On motorways distance marker posts also bear an arrow pointing towards the location of the nearest emergency telephone. [4]
On the left side the progressive distance from the location of origin of the motorway is indicated (i.e. that we are at kilometer 24 from the starting point of the motorway), on the right side it indicates the distance of the exit for the indicated location (i.e. that there are 4 km or 2 + 1 ⁄ 2 miles to get to the exit for Piacenza).
