Sometimes the signs are two-sided, thereby providing information also for cyclists going downhill.Mountain pass cycling milestones are particularly useful to cyclists that are not familiar with the climbs. In general, they allow cyclists to schedule breaks as well as to plan food and liquid uptake. They furthermore can serve as motivational landmarks.Local institutions invest in this cycling infrastructure to offer service to cyclists, thus promoting tourism in their region.[2]Table of ContentsType of information[edit]Mountain passes that are known to have cycling milestones[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Type of information[edit]Mountain pass cycling milestones always carry a pictogram of a bicycle or cyclist and specify the following standard informationname of mountain passaltitudedistance to summitaverage slope in the following section of the passAdditional information found in some cases includesname and\/or emblem of local institutionsnumber of the roadaltitude of the summitdistances to villages or town close to summitdistance travelled from the start of the mountain passTypically, the signposts are placed every kilometer such that the slope corresponds to the average across the next kilometer.Mountain pass cycling milestones have become common in many major mountain passes in the French Pyrenees and Alps. Often their design is chosen to resemble the main features of conventional French milestones, which is a white bottom and a yellow top.Mountain passes that are known to have cycling milestones[edit]The following table lists mountain passes signposted with cycling milestones, ordered by the height of the summit.If a mountain pass is not included in the table below, that does not imply that it has no cycling milestones. It can likewise mean that is not yet documented in this table.All signs display the standard information (see above). The table specifies the precision of the slope. Additional information and emblems (if any) are explained in the column with remarks.NameHeightCountryPrecision of slopeExample and seasonRemarksCime de la Bonette from Jausiers uphill2,802\u00a0m (9,193\u00a0ft)France0.1%  Emblem left: similar to the one of Jausiers;
