Be very careful when doing this particular thing. These markers imitate official
reference markers for emergencies. Although we folks would like them to be
posted per kilometer, they may delay RESCUE if they are not official!! Don't
misunderstand me; I am in favor of metric displays if they are practical. But
this one may be dangerous and may backfire in its intent.
