Point kilométrique (PK) (English: milepost or kilometre post or motorway locator sign) is a French acronym used to measure distances for boundary mileage used mainly in France, on railways, highways, canals, and freeways to help locate a specific location. For example, locations on the Canal du Midi are marked in PK values.[1]
