Hello aussiesteve. Thanks for the notes.
I have been trying to count the poles with a stopwatch handy. But the poles and the (100m or 200m) hectometer signs are so irregular, it's not usually possible to get a good start for a km and then the end, to start/stop the stopwatch.
I was just wondering if there is information anywhere about how the hectometer signs are used in France. By that I mean the standard for installation. There seems to be different distances between signs. Not meaning "not at 100m or 200m" distance between intervals, but my question is why there are different intervals. My search on the Internet for "french use" has been without success.
However, it's not a big deal, life will go on without that knowledge
