did see in Leeds a sign "End of Measured Mile". A
chap in our group wondered aloud where the start was
- hilarious at first but sensible in that we hadn't
seen it.
Could ask at the local cop shop. If they 'do' a driver by
following in a patrol (or other) vehicle, they then have to
check 'their' speedo over a measured mile using a certified
stopwatch



There are measured markers on motorways, not much use
for a bike though. you could calibrate your car using
them and then mark out a distance using the car.
The markers are placed in metric measurements. OK if your
speedo is set to kilometres, awkward if you're on miles per
hour
