I was given to understand that it goes from post office to post office. They used to be in the centre of town.
Perhaps this would be a big argument for not relocating some post offices to the local stationary shops. Just think of the expense of changing the distances on road signs.

Distances between Towns were conventionally measured, from and to the main Post Offices. Therefore the distance sign to a town, is to the Main post Office.
