Didn't know there were Transport fonts

The fonts are really cool - I've installed them on my Mac, even though I'll never have any reason to use them

Yes, I know I'm a geek - see Monday Links Vol. XXIV, Link VI

According to the highways agency, the last number is the distance from the start of the motorway in km, so 598 was a guess on the highish side?

I think they are a kilometer apart

Can't figure out what they mean and googling isn't producing any answers, can anybody enlighten me?
