I wonder whether we are arguing hypotheticals here. Is there still highway signage, anywhere, with weight limits in long tons? I don't know, but I'd have imagined that the UK would have gone to metric signs a long time ago. (I imagine that there are still historic bridges with the old placards on them - but that's like coding '5 shillings fine for driving a waggon across this bridge at a pace faster than a walk' on the old placard.)
I've traveled the US fairly extensively, and I've never seen a traffic sign in cwt. (Or indeed, anything else, although I understand that it's still a unit in wholesale commerce of some goods.) Instead of saying '30 cwt', a load sign here would say '1.5 tons' or '1½ tons' or '3000 lbs'. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
