I don't know about other countries, but here in Finland the water maxspeed
signage is in km/h although knot is used for almost everything else.
In UK waterways, both MPH and knots are used. Usually MPH on canals and
knots on rivers, though even this

US tons, certainly (and it has caught mappers out in the past when

The UK uses (generally) metric

Hi,
Currently, le wiki ([1]) suggests that maxspeed has to specify the
