Highway mile

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The highway mile was a measure of length and of different dimensions in different states. The measure was used as a distance measure between the highway hour columns. In the Kingdom of Bavaria , for example, the road mile was now 13,000 and old was 26,000 Bavarian feet until the hour was set as the distance of around 12,710 Bavarian feet between two pillars.

  • Bavaria 1 road mile = 2 road hours = 22,826.6 Parisian feet = 25,421.6 feet (Bavarian) = 7415.5 meters
    • 1 foot (Bavarian) = 129.38 Parisian lines = 0.898672 Parisian feet = 0.29186 meters

  • Denmark 1 highway mile = 23,197.2 Parisian feet
  • Germany (old) 1 chausse mile = 13,722.1 Parisian feet
