I have reviewed the reference article for subject template, and found comparatively little discussion or description of the subject. I believe there is actually more diversity than the template suggests. California, with a large motoring population, has mileposts numbered as suggested because European population entered at San Diego and moved northward up the coast and then eastward toward the interior. The eastern United States were populated in the opposite directions, and the pre-interstate United States Highway System is numbered from north to south and from east to west. Since the subject of this article follows trade routes originating at the coast and moving toward the interior; I believe the guideline may be ignored for this article. Since the existing description progresses from south to north, I have removed the template. Thewellman ( talk) 18:16, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
WP:TL;DR. In short, the standard for mileposting is south-to-north or west-to-east, and that's how our articles will be written per the consensus behind WP:USRD/STDS. As for roads that aren't modern highways, those can be written in either direction as appropriate, but current, active highways should follow the convention for inter-article consistency.
