I took a look, John.
I'm surprised, but very gratified that they are showing SI first. Surprised,
of course, because the official unit of distance (and also, therefore, the
unit of speed) on U.K. highways is still the mile.
I always wince a little when I see the very British and somewhat ambiguous
"anti-clockwise" (used to show direction on M25), as opposed to
"counter-clockwise" (even though I was raised using the former).
