milestone

🪨 Same spelling as moto (motorbike): a moto rides past every moto on the road

In this sense, moto is a rarer word for hito or mojón, the stone that marks distance or a boundary along a road. The everyday meaning is motorbike, short for motocicleta. Linking the two: a motorbike ride is counted in milestones.
