Within the past couple of weeks, the US Department of Transportation,
Federal Highway Administration has released the latest proposed
revisions to the USA Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices ('MUTCD').There are some VERY INTERESTING metric things in it, including a proposal for dropping the yellow 'METRIC' tabs from the tops of km/h speed limit signage and to put ALL 'km/h' speed numbers in circles. 'km/h' speed limits would be in red circles, similar to current European usage. There are a few errors (mostly relating to symbolism), but it is an interesting evolution. It is available at: http://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/kno-millennium_npa.htm (note, the sections are fairly large .pdf files). There is a public commentary period that will expire in mid august.
