At this location all across Michigan, it seems they have these signs on every north/south major road. The significance is that the 45th parallel is halfway between the Equator and the North Pole.

Despite the signs being where they are, Google Earth shows the 45th being 850 feet south of where the signs were placed.
Line type: Major circles of latitude

Tolerance: 850 feet

If other type, please explain.: Not listed
