context_page_description: In many countries, kilometre zero or similar terms in other languages is a particular location from which distances are traditionally measured. Historically, they were markers where drivers could set their odometers to follow the directions in early guide books.
  One such marker is the Milliarium Aureum of the Roman Empire, believed to be the literal origin for the maxim that "all roads lead to Rome".
context_section_description: All national distances from Santiago originate at the Km. 0 plaque, at the Plaza de Armas main square in downtown Santiago. (Coordinates: 33.437807°S 70.650523°W.)
  Chile's Autopista Central – Eje Norte-Sur (the eastern segment of the Panamerican Highway that passes through Santiago) has its Kilometre Zero at the intersection with the Alameda del Libertador Bernardo O'Higgins, the capital's main avenue. (Coordinates: 33.446200°S 70.660704°W.)
