Within Alaska, roads are almost invariably referred to by name or general destination, and not by number(s). Many residents are unfamiliar with official highway numbers even for those highways that they use frequently. Visitors are usually advised to avoid using highway numbers in asking for directions.

Mileposts

Mileposts, frequently used for road markers and official addressing in rural areas, are also more commonly reckoned by landmark names.
