What indicates the milestone colour representation in India

Milestones not just speak about the distance between the Head Post Office of two cities, they also speak something with their colour. As it turns out different colour milestones represent different types of roads in India. The road can be a National Highway or Expressway, a village road, a State Highway etc. So let’s take a look at what Milestones speak with their colours:

1. Yellow and White milestone:

While walking on the road or while driving, if you see a milestone having the yellow strip on the upper part of it, then it is understood that you are travelling on a National highway. This means that yellow painted milestones are imposed on India's National highways only.

2. Green strip on milestone indicates

When you see a green strip landmark on the side of the road, then it means that you are not on the National Highway but on the State Highway. In India, when roads are constructed or manufactured by the State then green coloured milestones are used and the maintenance of these roads is done entirely by the State.

3. Black, Blue or White strip on milestone indicates

When you see a milestone with a black, blue or white strip on the roadside, then it is understood that you entered in a big city or district. At the same time maintenance of these roads comes under district or we can say that these roads are maintained only by the administration of the same city.

4. Orange colour stripe on milestone indicates

When you see a milestone or a landmark with an orange stripe on the side of the road, then it means that you entered in the village. This strip also represents Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana.
