[edit] Postmiles on callboxes

I think some clarification is needed in regards to postmiles on freeway callbox signs. On a recent trip in California, I noticed that signs for sets of callboxes directly across from one another on a freeway never had the same "tenths" digit. Unless freeway callboxes are deliberately positioned to straddle the tenth-of-a-mile line, I don't think it's reasonable to assume you can infer the postmile location from a callbox sign (at least not with any more precision than the mile in which the box is located). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ljthefro (talk • contribs) 18:59, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Also, I noticed that callbox numbers do not jive with the postmile numbers. For example, right next to postmile 12.0 would appear a callbox numbered 123. HkCaGu (talk) 18:13, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
