Definitions of Terms used in Vertical Clearance List
- Reference Point – refers to marker on roadway. This is the method of referencing a location on a highway on the state highway system. Reference points can be closely correlated to distance in miles, however this is not always the case. On Interstates within North Dakota, exit numbers closely correlate to that exit’s reference point location. Reference points can be seen along the state highways as small green signs with a number on it.
