Surveys start at a certain point then when they get so dar from that point they mark the next point.
To me that stake is saying he’s 2000’ from the starting point.

could be 20" from center line to easement.. does not look like an elevation marking. been a while for me!
They painted up the highway in front of my house recently. Located all the utilities. Painted it up and planted little colored flags everywhere.
They are widening to a 4 lane. It’ll be nice when it’s done but not looking forward to the mess while they do it.

This. That is station number 20, each station marking off 100'. It is 2000' from the beginning of the area surveyed for the project extents (which may not be the same area in which you actually see dirt turned).
It is not an offset marker.
in the road they usually put a hard nail and washer if i remember correctly
Get used to waiting. The state is widening the highway in front of my place as well. They bought (took) twenty feet inside my fence about 4 years ago. They come along every so often and mark the utilities again. I’ve spent four summers pulling those flags so I didn’t get them hung up in my mower deck. Today, they put out a big orange sign that said “Men Working”. I didn’t see anybody all day. The sign has now blown over, and I drug it out of the way. It will be a very long process.
Station mark/ measurement.
20+00 is 2000 feet from initial starting point. Next one will say 21+00 so 2100 feet or 20+42 marks a point 2142 feet from go point. I used to be a surveyor.
