Do you know it?

I'd suspect somewhere in Australia...

maybe moskow somewhere in Siberia?

The largest I have seen was in Kirkenes / Norway - about 1070km to Narvik, but I am sure that is not the largest of the world :D

I live in Sacramento CA USA , there is a sign just west of Downtown Sacramento (in West Sacramento ,Its beginning pt.) for U.S Hwy 50 that states its ending point as 3073 miles away in Ocean City , Maryland USA .The sign is stolen very often here in Sac , and I hear its the same story in Maryland .

Wow 50 goes that far? I never would have thought it went past nevada (but then again, ive only used to to go to tahoe :) ).

I was going to mention the same sign! :cheers:

The longest Ive ever seen--

Cancun-1070 km..
In Mexico :D

The longest national highway in the world is the Trans-Canada, which is 4,860 miles long. I tried googling for road signs, but to no avail.

I would hope there are some with that distance on it.. someone's gotta have a sense of fun...

not entirely on topic, but heres a bizzare sight.. a collection of 22 000 road signs in the Yukon..

This is at the southernmost city of the world, Ushuaia, Argentina.

It's about 3214 miles.

There was also a sign that indicated the distance to Alaksa, but I couldn't find it.

Wow, 5171, thats huge, whats the use of one of those signs? I've seen 499 miles on a sign before on I-75 in the U.S. Thats around 900km.

Except for the fact that it isn't a national highway. The Trans-Canada Highway is under the sole jurisdiction of the provinces it goes through. The highway is in fact just a series of provincial highways unified by a common shield.

There is a roadsign just north of Brisbane showing the distance to Cairns, i can't remember the exact distance, it's about 1600km. Both cities are in the same state.

Same applies to the interstates, no?

Pretty much... the feds give the states money, which they spend on their own road projects.

probably not a longest distance sign, but in any case interesting. I recorded it in Derventa, in northern Bosnia and Herzegovina (probably friendly cities)
